Workshops

Clinical Skills Working with TGNC Children and Youth

Monday, January 23, 2017

9:00 am – 1:00 pm

4 Continuing Education contact hours for licensed social workers

Location: Room 155, Level 3, Health Sciences

Center, Stony Brook University

Presenter: Donna Riley, Ph.D., LCSW-R Adjunct Instructor, School of Social Welfare, Stony Brook University; Clinician, The Freedman Center for Clinical Social Work

Workshop Description:

Research has illuminated the fact that the two most prominent times in a TGNC person’s life where gender dysphoria (GD) arises is 3-5 years of age and at puberty. When confronted by a gender variant child, a parent may be caught very much off guard, with no ability to rehearse the best response to such an unanticipated circumstance. Some families are aware of their child’s GD in early childhood while others are surprised to learn about it in their child’s teen years. In this workshop, we will work to help create a safe and supportive environment for TGNC individuals and their families to grow and thrive in life.

Program Evaluation

Friday, March, 31, 2017

9:00 am – 3:00 pm




Presenter: Angelie Singla, LMSW Director, Corporate, Foundation & Government Relations, South Nassau Communities Hospital


Program evaluation is now critical more than ever for program supervisors and directors of nonprofit organizations. Not only does incorporating evaluation into a program demonstrate impact but it also can help make sound decisions for the future of the program and alert you to any problem areas within the program. In this course, participants will learn how to define success for their program. Through a hands-on approach, participants will learn how to create logic models and develop evaluation measures for their existing or new program. The purpose of this course is to provide students with an orientation to program evaluation, key terms involved, and different types of evaluations.

The Process of Psychotherapy - A Relational Approach: Applying Psychodynamic Theory to Social Work Practice

Friday, April 7, 2017

9:00 am – 12:00 pm




Presenter: Samuel R. Taube, LCSW Psychotherapist, Stony Brook, NY


A central principle in social work is, “being where the client is.” A number of key psychody-namic concepts can guide the social worker’s efforts to understand where the client is. This workshop will revisit standard psychodynamic ideas, such as Transference, Countertransfer-ence, Resistance, and the Unconscious, in an effort to demystify them. When understood from a modern relational perspective, these concepts can provide therapists with valuable insights into the process of therapy as it unfolds within the session. Participants will learn how to apply these concepts to 21st Century Social Work Practice.

Play Therapy: Theory & Interventions for All Ages - (Part 2)

Friday, April 28, 2017

9:00 am – 12:00 pm




Presenter: Michelle Conelli, LMFT, LCSW-R, RPT Private Practice, Port Jefferson, NY


This workshop is a more in depth and dynamic look into the three models of play therapy that were discussed in part one – Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), Sandplay/Sandtray Therapy, and Theraplay. Part 2 of the series will go into greater detail of the above three types of play therapy so clinicians can begin to practice the principles and skills in their own sessions with children and adolescents.

*You must take part 1 on Friday, March 10, 2017 to enroll in part 2

Proposal Writing

Friday, May 12, 2017

9:00 am – 3:00 pm




Presenter: Angelie Singla, LMSW Director, Corporate, Foundation & Government Relations, South Nassau Communities Hospital


Proposal writing can be a daunting task, how-ever in many cases, proposals become the basis for new programs or enhancements to existing programs.

The purpose of this course is to orient partici-pants to the proposal writing process. Attendees will learn about each of the common components of a proposal and what makes them most effective. There will be an in-depth review and discussion of needs statements which are critical to the proposal process as they focus on the purpose of the intervention and the population to be served. In addition, the nuances between government and private funding will be discussed. This is important for social workers as many nonprofits rely on a variety of funders for their programs and in many cases it is related to the funding entity.

Intergenerational Trauma in Court-Involved Families: A Relational Approach

Monday, May 15, 2017

9:30 am – 12:30 pm




Presenter: Joaniko Kohchi, MPhil, LCSW Infant Mental Health Endorsement, Clinical Men-tor, New York Zero-to-Three Network


This course will offer a review of current thinking about the transmissibility of trauma from parents or grandparents to their offspring, and consider the benefits of intervening as soon as possible in a child’s life in order to establish a strong and healthy foundation for the growing parent-child relationship. We will review principles of infant and early childhood mental health, illustrating through case example how they inform the relational approach to parent-child dyads, and how building a parent’s reflective capacity nourishes the parent’s ability to be empathic and to guide a child in a positive, affirming manner. We will consider the importance of relationship-based, reflective, trauma-informed assessment and intervention, and discuss decision-making when choosing interventions.

Clinical Skills Working with TGNC: Coming Out Later in Life

9:00 am – 1:00 pm




Presenter: Donna Riley, Ph.D, LCSW-R Adjunct Instructor, School of Social Welfare, Stony Brook University; Clinician, The Freedman Center for Clinical Social Work


Much of the current research has focused on gender-nonconforming children or on transsexuals seeking gender confirmation surgery (GCS). Recent research has noted that many male-to-female identified persons are contemplating gender transitions in their later years. This workshop will address the importance of working with elder TGNC individuals and will present specific modalities in working with this population.

Trauma and Addiction: What Neuroscience and Trauma-Research Tells Us About Addictive Behavior

Monday, June 12, 2017

9:00 am – 1:00 pm




Presenter: Anthony Zenkus, LCSW Director of Education, The Safe Center Bethpage, NY


Family and interpersonal violence and abuse do not only cause distress while they are occurring, they can have a significant impact on a person’s development throughout the lifespan, affecting them cognitively, emotionally, socially as well as physically; disrupting brain development in children and leading to a life-time of increased risk. This workshop explores how traumatic experience is the leading cause of addiction and provides a strong foundational understanding of the impact of social experi-ence on individuals and families. We will critique the medical model and legal models regarding substance abuse, and discuss how our approach as social workers in both the treat-ment and legal arenas needs to change in order to be more trauma informed and responsive to the needs of individuals, families and communities suffering the effects of substance abuse disorders.
