ASSOCIATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

Our focus this year is on developing your practice through the addition of a wholistic mindset. Informed consent, or the lack of it, from the medical community is also an enormous issue that needs to be addressed and remedied. A fully informed patient is an empowered patient. The mental health profession is one of the last lines of defense for our clients but we have to do better. We must do better. Please join us and be a big part of the solution. This year the Association For Mental health Professionals will be hosting a 3-day conference, and we've added a ticket pricing tier for grad students and current associates. We're also hosting an optional 2-hour CE event on the morning of Day 1 for a small additional fee. You'll receive 22 CE hours for the event, 24 if you attend the optional Day 1 morning event. This is going to be fun!

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of clinical supervision that transcends jurisdictional boundaries. It is designed to equip supervisors with a portable and adaptable skill set grounded in the foundational principles of ethical practice, cultural humility, and effective supervisory techniques. The goal is to elevate the standard of clinical oversight and foster the development of competent, confident, and ethical practitioners. Many clinical supervisors lack a unified, non-state-specific framework rooted in universal best practices, which can lead to inconsistent supervision quality and varied readiness for licensure candidates. This course addresses the need for standardized training to ensure all supervisors can effectively address complex ethical dilemmas and apply evidence-based models, regardless of their jurisdiction.

Healthcare providers across disciplines regularly treat children whose psychiatric conditions severely limit functioning, yet more than half of initial SSI/SSD applications citing mental disorders are denied because clinical records fail to translate findings into the Social Security Administration's language of functional impairment. This course addresses that gap by converting legal standards into a step-by-step documentation framework. Grounded in recent peer-reviewed research and authoritative policy guidance, this training supplies annotated exemplars, decision-grade checklists, and interactive case analyses. This activity develops competence in Patient Care and Systems-Based Practice through SSA-aligned documentation and interdisciplinary coordination. The goal is to foster defensible, high-impact reports capable of withstanding adjudicative scrutiny. Emphasis on ethical, culturally responsive communication further equips healthcare teams to advocate effectively for vulnerable pediatric populations while streamlining claim processing.

In recent years, it has become generally accepted that supervision draws upon knowledge and skills that are different than, and go beyond, those of psychotherapy. Similarly, the ethics and legal imperatives regarding supervision both encompass psychotherapy issues and go beyond them. Because supervision is a triadic rather than a dyadic relationship, the supervisor must always attend to the need for balance between the counseling needs of clients and the training needs of the counselor. This course focuses on legal and ethical issues of supervision with emphasis on the triadic relationship.

By the year 2030, half of the U.S. population will be obese (CDC.gov). Ironically, as rates of obesity have risen, so have the rates of weight bias and stigmatization toward individuals of larger body sizes, even within healthcare settings and among healthcare professionals, including physical therapists (Bannuru, 2025; Lawrence, 2021). Such stigma can result in both physical and psychological harm to patients, and it presents a major obstacle in the effort to effectively prevent and treat obesity (Rubino, 2025; Rubino, 2020; Ryan, 2024; Robinson, 2024). Research indicates that these stigmatizing attitudes stem from two main causes: a lack of education and the incorrect belief that obesity is purely a function of eating too much and exercising too little. Obesity is a complex, multifaceted condition driven by diverse biological pathways and numerous environmental factors. The aim of this course is to demystify a physiological process that has long provoked confusion and shame. This course will help physical therapists better understand what causes weight gain, why it is so difficult to lose weight, and why it is especially difficult to keep it off. This course will address a range of weight loss interventions, including pharmacotherapy such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, bariatric surgery, diet, behavioral therapy, and physical activity. An emphasis is placed on the importance of maintaining muscle mass through dietary protein and strength training to minimize the change in energy expenditure with weight loss, as well as strategies to preserve muscle mass while on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy. Finally, it will address what physical therapists can do to reduce weight bias and stigma in their own practices.
