At-A-Glance Agenda
Sexual Assault & the Brain: Experience, Behavior, and Memory
Presented By: Jim Hopper, M.D.
Workshop Description
Traumatic experiences have immediate, powerful, and potentially long-lasting effects on the human brain. This presentation explains, in very accessible ways, how stress and trauma can alter brain functioning during sexual assaults and other traumas. Participants will learn about the key brain circuitries impacted by stress and trauma, including the prefrontal cortex and defense and memory circuitries. Participants will gain increased understanding of brain-based experiences, behaviors, and memory characteristics and learn important implications for their work with victims of sexual assault and other violence. This presentation provides a critical foundation for learning and applying trauma- informed responses with people who have been assaulted.This program has been approved for 1.5 CE clock hours by the Louisiana Counseling Association as authorized by the Louisiana Professional Counselor Licensing Board of Examiners.

Brain Injury, PTSD, and Chronic Pain : Evaluation,
Associations, and Practical Applications
Presented By: Rachel Lacy, Psy.D., ABPP-CN
Workshop Description
This presentation will provide a basic overview and framework for the evaluation of concussions/ TBI, PTSD and chronic pain. Patients can have one, or any combination of diagnoses, in addition to other psychological disorders, medical issues, past trauma, and characterological disorders. The focus of this presentation will be to highlight the kinds of questions therapists should asks during their initial clinical interviews in order to adequately assess these issues, choose a treatment pathway, and decide when to refer for further evaluation. When patients present with multiple symptoms, it can be difficult cult to tease apart how each one becomes manifest, how one condition may exacerbate another, and identify the primary issue to know which one to treat first. Decision making regarding treatment options and planning will be discussed.This program has been approved for 1 CE clock hour by the Louisiana Counseling Association as authorized by the Louisiana Professional Counselor Licensing Board of Examiners.
