This presenter will discuss the medicine wheel as a model of Indigenous assessment. The Medicine Wheel integrates the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists and Standards of Practice by recognizing and integrating Indigenous principles when serving Indigenous individuals and Indigenous communities. It is an example of participation and collaboration with members of Indigenous communities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, this workshop considers the experiences of an Indigenous clinician who has worked primarily with Indigenous children, youth, and families over a number of decades. Development of the clinician will be traced from an Indigenous theoretical, historical and philosophical perspective, as they worked with and examined the discipline of psychology with its various constructs. The Medicine Wheel will be considered as an assessment tool.  Participants will be introduced to the Medicine Wheel with its cultural historical and philosophical context.  All participants will be given an opportunity to do their own assessment using the Medicine Wheel. Use of the Medicine Wheel will be shown as a way to respect and ceremonialize traditional ways of knowing and ways of being.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning Outcomes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consider what colonization means in the context of psychological practice.<\/li>\n<li>Implement the Medicine Wheel as a tool that supports (re)connecting with, (re)opening to, and (re)engaging one\u2019s personal and collective wisdom and medicine for healing; <\/li>\n<li>Move toward decolonizing and Indigenizing their practice in a good way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a id=\"Full-2\" class=\"anchor\" name=\"Full-2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong style=\"xtext-decoration: line-through;\">Beyond Pain Management: Evidence-Based Treatments of Chronic Pain<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Also available as morning or afternoon half-day sessions<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-left: 50px; xtext-decoration: line-through;\">\n<h3>Presenters &#038; Panelists: Dr. Norman Buckley, Dr. Gregory Tippin, Dr. Eleni Hapidou; Panelists: Dr. Mark Lumley, Dr. Shoshana Krohner<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Program Stream:<\/strong> Clinical Psychology<br \/><strong>Continuing Education Credits:<\/strong> 6 CE Credits<br \/><strong>Language:<\/strong> English<br \/><strong>Duration:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Full Day &#8211; 6 Hours (8:30 &#8211; 16:00)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--<strong>Target Audience:<\/strong> Clinical supervisors and supervisees\/graduate trainees in Psychology\n\n\n<strong>Skill\/Difficulty Level:<\/strong> Introductory\n\n\n---><br \/><strong>Workshop Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nearly 8 million Canadians live with chronic pain, including about 1 in 3 Canadians over the age of 65, affecting many aspects of daily life and functioning.

In the second half of the workshop, attendees will view a film (&lsquo;This Might Hurt&rsquo;) on emerging, neuroplastic approaches to chronic pain treatment. The workshop will conclude with an inter-disciplinary panel discussion from experts in chronic pain treatment where attendees will have an opportunity to discuss and explore the content covered in the workshop in more detail. Note that this workshop is not intended to prepare clinicians to treat chronic pain, but will provide clinicians with a foundation in the key treatment modalities and provide opportunities for further learning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning Outcomes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Describe the epidemiology, theoretical models, and psychological factors associated with chronic pain, including how these elements influence daily functioning and treatment needs.<\/p>\n<p>Summarize foundational psychological treatment approaches for chronic pain and explain how these interventions can be integrated within an interprofessional care model.<\/p>\n<p>Describe and reflect on emerging neuroplastic approaches to chronic pain treatment, drawing on insights from the film and interdisciplinary panel discussion to deepen foundational understanding and identify opportunities for further learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!----<a id=\"Full-3\" class=\"anchor\" name=\"Full-3\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2><strong style=\"text-decoration:line-through;\">Creating Culturally Safe and Socially Responsive Space in Clinical Practice: Foundational Concepts and Strategies Through Experiential-Reflective Learning<\/strong> - CANCELLED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding-left: 50px; text-decoration:line-through;\">\n\n\n<h3>Presented by: Ben C.H.

Discriminative AI has many practical applications and has been in use for much longer than many people realise. Generative AI, on the other hand, is often confused with ChatGPT, and its hype cycle is currently at its peak.  <\/p>\n<p>The presentation will explore the use of AI from both its positive and negative sides. Examples of exciting and useful applications in mental health will be presented to illustrate some of its strengths. However, the use of AI also raises practical and ethical concerns that must be addressed. Those using discriminative AI must consider, among others, the implications for privacy, explainability, potential interactions with clinical characteristics or risk factors, and issues relating to the maintenance of digital trust. As for generative AI, it is important to first understand how Large Language Models (LLM) work and why they have been called \u2018stochastic parrots\u2019. Additional ethical questions will then be discussed, including those relating to inaccuracies and lack of control of generative AI tools, social biases, autonomous virtual psychotherapists, content modulation according to clinical disorders, and the risk for addiction.
