Conference Dates: November 10th - 13th, 2022Our speakers are for YOU!We have purposefully designed a conference with multiple keynote speakers to reach all specialties within our diverse organization. We have found nationally known, leaders in their fields, heroes, and practitioners who are ready to inspire you, share the most current research, or provide you with new tools to use in your own setting. Here are some highlights: Pre Conference - Thursday (11/10) from 1:00 - 4:00 (3 CEs) Option 1 - TAMCD Preconference: Title: Restorative Justice: How We Can Keep Our Youth Out of Jail and Build Stronger Communities Presenter: Dr. Rena Isen Description: Research suggests that incarceration as a juvenile is the strongest predictor of incarceration as an adult. Incarcerating juveniles not only leads to recidivism, but it also cuts juveniles off from their families, disrupts their education, and potentially exposes them to even more trauma. Join forensic psychologist Dr. Rena Isen as we discuss how you can use restorative justice practices to prevent recidivism in juveniles, empower crime victims, and rebuild communities.
Option 2 – TCA Preconference: Title: The Business of Private Practice Presenter: Dr. Lynn and Stephen Jennings Description: Many times, we are intrigued yet frightened by the idea of private practice. There are so many war stories, and so many unknowns. Where do we start? What is truly involved in developing a successful private practice? In this seminar, participants will learn how to find an appropriate space, develop a network, begin the contracting process and develop the necessary tools to build a successful private practice.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Rena Isen - “Racial Trauma: The Hidden Danger of Social Media”There has been growing concern about the effects of social media on the mind, especially the minds of our youth, who spend an average of 3 hours a day consuming it. Join Dr. Rena Isen as we discuss a recent rise in racial trauma due to social media use. Although racial trauma has a significant impact on mood, cognition, and behavior, it is often overlooked. We will learn how to identify it, and we will learn what we can do to keep it from debilitating the individuals we serve.
