SUMMARY:Supporting FCS Participants Experiencing Psychosis: Practical Communication and Care Planning Tools for Supported Employment Providers
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by DSHS: \nDetails\nSupported employment staff are often called on to help when a job seeker is experiencing paranoia\, delusional thinking\, or other psychosis related symptoms and is declining practical services because they do not believe anything is wrong. In these situations\, trying to argue the facts usually does not help and can quickly damage trust. This webinar offers supported employment providers a respectful\, practical approach for staying connected\, reducing escalation\, and continuing to support the person’s employment goals.  \nParticipants will learn a non-confrontational communication approach and practice brief\, usable scripts that acknowledge feelings without reinforcing inaccurate beliefs. The training then translates those skills into a one-page Shared Job Support Plan\, a tool for identifying next steps together even when a person is declining treatment or other services.  \nObjectives: \nIdentify how reduced insight can show up in psychotic disorders and how it affects engagement\, helping staff shift from trying to convince someone to focus on connection and practical planning.\nApply a structured\, non-confrontational communication approach to respond to delusional beliefs in a way that reduces escalation\, supports trust\, and avoids reinforcing the belief itself.\nDevelop a Shared Job Support Plan that helps move services forward even when a person declines support\, by focusing on goals\, day to day functioning\, early warning signs\, and small\, realistic next steps.\nRecognize when it may be appropriate to involve behavioral health partners\, crisis supports\, or coordinated specialty care resources\, especially when workplace functioning or safety concerns begin to increase.\nSpeakers (1)\nMehrnoosh\, Nicholas (DSHS/HCLA/HCS)\nR1 BEHAVIOR SUPPORT TRAINER\nDSHS-ALT\nNicholas “Nick” Mehrnoosh is a Behavior Support Trainer with Washington State’s Home and Community Services within the Home and Community Living Administration. He holds a Master of Science in Psychology from Eastern Washington University and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and designated Mental Health Professional in Washington State.

SUMMARY:WDVA Workshop: Chronic Pain\, Trauma\, and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Time: 9:00pm-4:00pm \nLocation: Virtual \nInstructor: Matthew Jakupcak\, Ph.D. \nCE credits: 6 CE’s (pending) \nCourse Description: \nThis workshop highlights for learners the prevalence and high rate of comorbidity between chronic pain and trauma-related reactions such as PTSD\, depression\, and health-related anxiety\, particularly among veteran populations. Theoretical mutual-maintenance models (Asmundson\, Coons\, Taylor & Katz\, 2002; Sharp & Harvey\, 2001) are helpful for clinicians to understand how these two conditions interact to create a “vicious cycle” of arousal and avoidance\, where physical pain\, bodily vigilance and cued trauma reactions reinforce one another\, leading to significant disability and reduced quality of life. \nDr. Jakupcak will present information specific to the interrelationships between chronic pain and trauma\, including posttrauma reactions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)\, depression\, and healthy anxiety. In addition\, Dr. Jakupcak will review the applications evidence-based treatments that can address both chronic pain functioning and common co-occurring mental health conditions\, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, and Behavioral Activation (BA). \n Objectives: \nAt the end of this training participants will: \nBe able to describe theoretical frameworks where PTSD symptoms (like hyperarousal and avoidance) increase pain sensitivity and bodily vigilance\, informing greater disability and impairment. (Mutual Maintenance Models)\nLearn about specific evidence-based therapies such as CBT\, ACT and BA to help patients re-engage in life activities despite pain and stress. This course emphasizes “valued living”—moving toward what matters rather than just “fixing” symptoms. (Breaking the Cycle)\nDevelop strategies for addressing specific common hurdles to recovery such as opioid use\, sleep disturbances\, and the “numbing” symptoms of trauma and PTSD that often interfere with traditional pain rehabilitation.

SUMMARY:Responding to Serious Behavioral Health Symptoms in the Courtroom: The Role of Each Court Partner
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by SAMHSA: \nDate & Time\nMay 7\, 2026 12:00 PM in\nPacific Time (US and Canada)\nDescription\nMaintaining court procedures and ensuring procedural fairness can be difficult if a defendant is experiencing serious symptoms stemming from behavioral health disorders in the courtroom. Interactions in the courtroom related to mental and substance use disorders\, including psychosis\, suicidal ideation\, or severe anxiety\, can result in delays\, appeals\, or aggression towards court staff. Maintaining a safe courtroom environment requires courtroom professionals to understand approaches and tools that support person-centered and trauma-informed responses. \nThis webinar will discuss ways judges and other court partners\, including defense attorneys and prosecutors\, can manage serious symptoms of mental and substance use disorders that can show up in the courtroom while navigating their non-clinical\, judicial role. Additionally\, other court partners\, such as court security personnel or behavioral health providers\, may play key roles. This webinar will review practical strategies that support trauma-informed and coordinated responses among court partners.  \nSpeakers\ncustom photo of speaker\nMarcia Hirsch \nFormer Presiding Judge·Queens Treatment Court \nHon.
