Defining Wellness in Older Adulthood: Toward a Comprehensive

Title:
Defining Wellness in Older Adulthood: Toward a Comprehensive Framework
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Matthew C. Fullen, PhD
Description:
Mental health and wellness are essential at every stage of life, and late adulthood is no exception. Yet, despite the counseling profession’s interest in wellness and the fact that the population of the U.S. is “graying”, there is limited research on wellness in older adults (Fullen, 2019). The article from the Journal of Counseling and Development (JCD), Defining Wellness in Older Adulthood: Toward a Comprehensive Framework (Fullen, 2019) presents an analysis of the existing counseling literature related to wellness and older adults. This Continuing Professional Development resource provides counselors with a rationale to identify current trends in the counseling literature on wellness among older adults, recognize the lack of multidimensional models that were normed on older adults, and understand the 8-dimensional wellness framework.
Learning Objectives:
1.Identify current trends in the counseling literature on wellness among older adults
2.Recognize the lack of multidimensional models that were normed on older adults
3.Understand the 8-dimensional wellness framework

You Are A Super Hero: Counseling Highly Sensitive People

Title:
You Are A Super Hero: Counseling Highly Sensitive People from A Resiliency Approach
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Misty M. Ginicola, PhD and Taylor Carson
Description:
When a client presents with anxiety, sensitivity and interpersonal problems, it is standard to look for pathology. However, for approximately 20 percent of the population, these symptoms may be indicative of a genetic temperamental characteristic, heightened sensory processing sensitivity. These individuals, also referred to as highly sensitive people, commonly seek counseling. This session will provide case studies, assessment strategies and differential diagnoses, as well as strength-based and resiliency intervention approaches.
Learning Objectives:
1.Participants will be able to define the characteristic of sensitivity, as well as to identify signs in a client that they may be a Highly Sensitive Person.
2.Participants will be able to describe how these characteristics can be misdiagnosed as other disorders, and why certain effective counseling treatment strategies will be entirely unsuccessful for this population.
3.Participants will be able to outline developmentally-appropriate, strength-based counseling techniques for working with clients who are HSPs.
