Spring Conference location 2018 is Shrine Mont –
will be held April 18, 19, and 20, 2017.
Jan is coordinating the conference and has spoken with Donna at Shrine Mont who will put our contract together in the fall. · Spring 2018 Planning a)
We will focus the Spring Conference on
sexual addiction
and treatment - identifying potential victims and predators, a speaker to
discuss victimology, and someone from the ID field to address sexual
addiction or abuse or acting out behaviors within the ID population and how our
ID nurses can best address these issues. We are trying to do a better job
of providing programming for our ID nurse population. b)
Tentative conference title: “Sex and the
Commonwealth” c)
Conference outcome: The nurse will be able to
identify problematic sexual behaviors and their impact on families and society.
d)
Friday morning speaker: Dr. Robert
Gardella is confirmed to speak – can do a case review (someone with sex offense
history) and cover overall “risk assessment and management” and some of the med
treatment for sex offenders. e)
Thursday speaker: Jeff Wilder from
CVTC has been confirmed to speak about sexual behaviors/acting out and issues
within the ID population f)
Thursday speaker: We have a Sex
Offender Therapist who will speak on treatment programs and groups and
resources within the CSB and community setting. g)
We are planning to reach out to Dr.
Evan Nelson who has done a lot of outpatient sex offender evaluations (“300”)
to discuss victimology. h)
We would like to have a forensic nurse
speak and join the panel discussion about identifying a victim and how to guide
them through the process of reporting. Nina will see if she can contact a Sexual Assault Nurse
Examiner. i)
Keynote speaker on Thursday: From
NAMI?– Angela will try to find a contact for this. j)
Alkermes (Aristada & Vivitrol)
to sponsor dinner/reception - Instead of a sponsored dinner
(since dinner is included in Shrine Mont cost), we will ask the sponsor if they
can do a wine/dessert reception after dinner. k)
Add a
mindfulness/self-care activity to Thursday night at Spring Conference (7 PM to
8 PM?) - Ideas: paint night,
yoga meditation, dancing, speaker on self-care - Jen can do a paint
night event (these should be hour sessions) - Marina could
possibly take a group for a hike - Jen has a Family Feud game that would be a great icebreaker - Possibly have yoga
in the morning before breakfast? ·
Update website:
conference registration is now open on our website ·
Consider making
Regional Reps responsible for keeping a list of drug rep vendors and reaching
out before each conference event ·
Michele will add a “Program
List “section on the registration forms for each conference to track and make
e-mail lists for Programs ex. Outpatient, PACT, CS, etc. ·
Fall Location for
2018?
- Craddock Terry has
offered to host us again - LuAnn will look into
possible conference locations in Old Town Alexandria and Reston ·
Consider increasing
vendor fee for next year? · Adjournment
