Social workers play a central role in ensuring safe, effective transitions after psychiatric hospitalizations and emergency visits — yet timely follow-up remains a persistent challenge. This webinar examines the NCQA FUH and FUM quality measures, exploring how 7-day follow-up reduces risks including medication non-adherence, suicidal ideation, relapse, and avoidable readmissions across the lifespan. Participants will gain practical strategies for strengthening care transitions, coordinating essential supports, and advocating for system improvements across hospitals, clinics, community behavioral health programs, and FQHCs.

Part 1 of 3 | Ketamine Series with Erica Sandoval

This introductory session explores Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as a transformative healing modality, examining its benefits alongside the cultural stigma and systemic barriers that limit access in BIPOC communities. Participants will leave with tools to advocate for equitable, culturally humble KAP practice.

Each session in this series is a stand-alone offering.

A hybrid, discussion-based CE session hosted by the Hudson Valley Solution Focused Network (HVSFN), exploring the role of feelings in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Participants co-construct client conversations, apply solution-focused techniques, and learn to navigate problem-saturated systems — best suited for clinicians already familiar with SFBT.

Part 2 of a 3-part Ketamine series with Erica Sandoval. This CE training explores how ancestral wisdom, holistic healing, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) can be integrated into trauma-informed, decolonial social work practice — breaking down barriers to healing in BIPOC communities.

This CE training helps social workers recognize how intimate partner violence manifests across the lifespan and across identities — moving beyond one-size-fits-all screening to trauma-informed approaches that account for how power, control, and access to support differ by age, identity, and culture.

This CE session gives social workers an introductory understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) in mental health practice — how it's currently being used, the ethical and legal risks it raises, and a framework for evaluating AI at both a practical and policy level. Part 1 of a 2-part series with Dr. Kathryn Krase.

This 4-hour CE session provides social workers with essential groundwork to strengthen engagement with mandated, resistant, and justice-involved clients.
