"The Well Siblings: Suffering in Disguise"
It is well-known and well-documented the devastating effects mental illness can have on a family. While much of the literature and resources available focus primarily on parents, very little speaks to the influence specifically on siblings. The “Well Sibling Syndrome” is a term created as researchers, mental health experts, and siblings themselves have taken a deeper look into how siblings are affected and shaped by growing up with a brother or sister with a mental illness. This presentation will explore the many ways siblings learn to cope with mental illness in a sibling, how that coping can create a cloak of invisibility, and most importantly, how to thoughtfully include siblings in treatment considerations to effect healing and healthy development across this generation of the family system.
Objectives:
At the conclusion, the participant will be able to:
a. Differentiate between “subjective” and “objective” burdens of care.
b. Identify at least 3 areas of development of the “well-sibling” influenced by growing up with a sibling with a mental illness.
c. List at least 3 suggestions for support given to parents by adult children who grew up with a mentally ill sibling.

"Risk Assessment and Co-Occurring Disorders in Addiction Treatment: What Can We Really Do?"
Treating individuals with personality disorders in your practice requires a commitment to remain engaged, tolerant, and firm simultaneously. Individuals may impact your practice by: being demanding, actively or passively non-compliant, over or under valuing themselves and others, being manipulative and engaging in interpersonal dishonesty, having difficulties in developing non-pathological attachments, failing to accept and/or process feedback, lacking awareness of the impact they are having on others, self-defeating, self-damaging, or self-destructive behavior, and having poor affective regulation. Are these behaviors familiar or common in your practice? How are you managing them? This workshop will focus on the influence and integration of: 1) Temperament which is the genetic or constitutional contribution to personality and, 2) Character which is derived from the Greek word for “engraving.” Lastly, a risk assessment model of the behavioral disinhibition pathway, the stress reduction pathway, and the reward sensitivity pathway in the context of addiction treatment will be presented.
Objectives:
At the conclusion, the participant will be able to:
a. Identify warning signs of individuals whom may be at increased risk for relapse
b. List three ways individuals with personality disorders impact their communities and develop three strategies for managing them
c. Discuss the three pathways for developing co-occurring disorders which integrate biological, psychological, systemic, and addictive interventions
