Presenter: Dr. Julia Connelly, Educational Psychologist, Founder of the Autism Clinic
Bio: Dr. Julia Connelly was born in Leipzig, Germany, and moved to Utah as a young adult. She graduated with bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and German from the University of Utah. She later received her master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Utah’s Department of Educational Psychology. Her interest in Autism started while working with young children with autism during her undergraduate career and became engaged in autism research. Dr. Connelly’s graduate research focused on better understanding of effective treatments for difficult to manage behaviors in autism. She completed an internship and post-doc at the University Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI), where she broadened her clinical experience beyond autism. She also worked as a school psychologist for three years in Jordan School District. After working at UNI as a staff psychologist in the department of psychiatry, she became the clinical director of the University’s Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinic, which she grew from a one-psychologist-clinic to a clinic with four full-time clinicians and an early intervention and behavior support program serving children, adolescents, and adults with autism. In January of 2018, she founded her own outpatient autism clinic and is hoping to build a community clinic with emphasis on individuals’ strengths and gifts while providing therapeutic support for everyone to reach their full potential in life.

National Alliance on Mental Illness Annual Conference
2018-10-24 | SLCC Miller Campus, 9750 300 W, Sandy, UT, 84070, United States
“Building a Solid Foundation for Life”

Dr. Brian C. Miller, Keynote Speaker. “Stronger in the Broken Places: Foundations of Wellness
“Whether you are experiencing a serious mental illness, or are a family member of someone who is; the foundation of wellness is realizing that it is possible even with symptoms, even with problems, even with an uncertain course. Everyone, as Hemingway said, is broken. But some of us get stronger in the broken places. This presentation will focus on what we know about the foundations for living well with a serious mental illness. Everything changes when we realize that what makes a life of wellness for a person with a mental illness is no different than what makes anyone’s life whole. The key is to avoid becoming hypnotized into focusing exclusively on the illness. And isn’t that what recovery is all about?”

A Clinicians Guide to Reducing Falls: Evidence-Based Strategies

Click here to download the course brochure for more details.
Why Attend?
One third of all people over 65 living in the community fall each year. This number increases to 50% in in-patient settings and skilled nursing facilities. Fall-related injures leading to death, hospitalization, or treatment exceeds $111 billion annually. Can clinicians provide treatment and education to clients to reduce to the risk of falls in the home, community, and clinical settings? What research supports the role of therapy in fall reduction and what is their scope? How is the rise in genomic hypovitaminosis, depression, fear, medication dosage, and upper extremity weakness correlated to increased fall rates? What are the latest hands-on and evidence based techniques and assessments that lead to fall reduction? Are there fall reduction “programs” that are verified by research and if so what are they? This intensive lab-based course will answer these questions and discuss the most advanced and reviewed strategies. Demonstrations and labs will occur to ensure application of the material and immediate carry-over to the clinical setting. This course will also discuss documentation techniques and examples to strongly justify the need for skilled services with this population in hospital, in-patient, acute, home health, and outpatient settings.
Objectives:

Identify the major contributors to falls and the most common environments where falls occur for the adult and geriatric population.
Identify the role of clinicians in fall prevention in various rehab settings, the home, and the community at large.
Identify the common principles in a fall reduction program leading to evidenced outcomes
Develop a practical understanding of learned exercises, activities, and a assessments during labs to ensure immediate carry-over into all clinical settings
Apply documentation strategies and language based on information provided in this course to justify skilled clinical services and reimbursement to all payer sources

Instructional Methods
We will discuss the most current research explaining falls, those at risk for falls, and the power in fall prevention strategies. Demonstrations and labs will take place to ensure the attendees understand the techniques supported to assist with treating the adult and geriatric population. In addition, we will learn accepted language and documentation strategies accepted by payer sources and practice these documentation strategies with real-life examples and case studies.

Exploration of current trends, demographics, and statistics with high, medium, and low risk fall clients
Photographs, videos, demonstrations, and x-ray images will be used to increase participants’ understanding of interventions
Lab (completed by clinicians in small groups/partners)
Documentation examples
Case study review
