HOPE is a Four-Letter Word for Recovery
Paolo del Vecchio, Director, Center for Mental Health

Recovery is holistic, incorporating health and wellness in
body, mind and spirit. Recovery is about opportunities to
participate fully in all that life has to offer, including work,
home and community. Recovery is achieved through
partnerships with families, educators, providers, payers,
peers, people in recovery and community members. Recovery
empowers people to be their best selves. Please join us to

early intervention, and evidence-based treatment. There has

WORKSHOPS
1.Two is Enough
Nicole Heinrich, LCSW, ICS, Behavioral Unit
Supervisor, Walworth County Health and Human Services,
Elkhorn, Wis.

3.Opiate Replacement Therapy:
The Good and the Bad
Matthew Felgus, MD, Addiction Psychiatrist,
Madison, Wis.
Opiate Replacement (buprenorphine, methadone) can
save lives, but it is not a cure-all for the opiate epidemic.
Whether you support it or are against it, people with
opiate-dependence are clamoring for the replacement
medications. Understanding that not all doctors approach
this treatment in the same way will allow consumers and the
professionals who work with them to make truly educated
treatment decisions.
4. Immigration, Trauma, Resilience and
Relationships: What Service Providers
Need to Know
Mercy Greenwald, APSW , Bilingual Site
Coordinator, Early Childhood Initiative, Community
Partnerships, Madison, Wis.
The trauma associated with immigration is real and impactful
for many of the Latinos we work with in our communities.
In this session, we will unpack some of the effects of
immigration on individuals and families (especially relating
to PTSD symptomology), and discuss how we as providers
can both understand these complexities as well as support
our clients in telling their stories and making meaning of
their experiences.
5.Elders and Substance Use Disorder:
The Invisible Crisis
Tracy Schroepfer, Associate Professor, University
of Wisconsin-Madison School of Social Work,

Mr. Zimmerman will review information presented in
tables and charts that provide a comparison of critical
concepts/issues in state and federal confidentiality laws,
as well as case law, so attendees are able to determine
the most stringent requirement applicable to mental health
and substance use disorder treatment records.

12.Working with People Who Do Not
Want Our Help: Involuntary Clients
Ronald J. Diamond, Professor, Department of
Psychiatry and Consultant, Wis. Bureau of Mental Health
and Substance Abuse, University of Wisconsin,
Madison, Wis.
We are often asked to work with people who do not want
our help. They may be legally coerced or disagree with
us and others about the nature of their problem. This can
make it difficult to develop a collaborative
relationship. I start with the assumption that everyone wants
something. If our job becomes to help people meet their
goals and their needs, a treatment relationship can develop
even with very recalcitrant clients.
13.Certified Peer Specialists: Peer
Support, An Evidence-Based Practice
Kathy Mack, Certified Peer Specialist, Lutheran Social
Services (LSS), Inc.; Friendships Unlimited, Waukesha,
Wis., Mackenzie Farrell, Certified Peer Specialist,

model of mental health support. Certified Peer Specialists
use a unique set of recovery experiences in combination
with solid skills training to support peers who are affected
by mental illness or co-occurring disorders. They actively
incorporate peer support into their work while working
with an agency’s support structure as a defined part of the
recovery team.
14.War to Home: A Major Life Transition
Michael McBride, MD, Psychiatrist, Clement J Zablocki
VA Medical Center, Milwaukee, Wis.
Given the prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD)
and other problems in veterans, emphasis will be on the
typical deployment experiences of troops, including linking
specific war zone experiences with the psychological symptoms
and behavior that they may produce. This session will also
focus on the psychological experience of “homecoming,”
which impacts not only the returning serviceman or woman
but also resonates throughout the extended family system.
Dr. McBride will discuss his personal experience as a
military psychiatrist helping service members in Germany,
Iraq and Afghanistan. Participants will learn about the
experience of these new veterans, with a primary goal to
provide them with understanding and perspective necessary
to support an optimal outcome to this major life transition.
15. Advancing Practice in Motivational
Interviewing: Reflective Listening
Scott Caldwell, MI Consultant/SBIRT Coordinator,
Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of
Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Madison, Wis.
A foundation of Motivational Interviewing (MI) is accurate
empathy expressed as reflective listening. Although
decades of counseling research shows that high-quality

master. This workshop provides an overview of the science
with experiential activites to foster the art of listening.

20.The Comprehensive Resources Model (CRM): Clearing the Way for Positive
Neuroplasticity
Heather Hart Kennedy, MSW, LCSW,
Psychotherapist, Riverwalk Psychotherapy Associates,
Glendale, Wis.
DSM V diagnoses reflect a myriad of difficult life
experiences that are frozen in the neurophysiology of
individuals. The mission statement of CRM is to remember,
re-process, and release traumatic material from the nervous
system in order to provide the opportunity for re-connection
to one’s true self, the meaning of the truth of one’s life, and
the ability to embody love in one’s actions. The CRM
modality is a nested one, with each internal resource used
in a fashion that paves the way for the next level of
resource to be developed and utilized. The final goal is
processing the traumatic material from a place of complete
neurobiological resourcing in various brain structures
simultaneously while the client is fully present in the
moment. Eye positions are used to anchor the resources
during processing.

SCAODA Public Forum
23.Addressing Grief in the
Recovery Process
Rachel Ridge, LCSW, CRADC, PCGC, Community
Relations Coordinator, Rosecrance, Frankfort, Ill.
Grieving is the normal, natural and necessary process
that we must go through to regain emotional stability and
health. Many people struggling with addictions have
backpacks full of unresolved losses with the progression
of the addiction, they are continually adding to the weight
of an already heavy load. The use of alcohol and drugs
prohibits our clients from experiencing the grieving process.
Without grieving their losses, our clients will continue in the
vicious cycle of addiction. Part of recovery is helping our
clients learn to live life on life’s terms and a big part of life
is learning how to grieve our losses instead of running
from them.

CLOSING KEYNOTE
Trauma and Recovery
Tonier Cain, Healing Neen, Arnold, Md.
Tonier Cain takes an audience on a journey to places and
subjects that most find too difficult or uncomfortable to
fathom. But it is Tonier “Neen” Cain’s joyous spirit and
astonishing inner-strength that leaps directly into audience
hearts, inspiring renewed hope and compassion for those
still living on the fringes.
For two decades, Tonier “Neen” Cain hustled on the
streets of Annapolis, Maryland, desperately feeding an
insatiable crack addiction and racking up 83 arrests
along the way. Rapes and beatings were a routine part
of life; home was underneath a bridge or inside the
locked cage of a prison. In 2004, pregnant and
incarcerated for violation of parole, she was provided the
opportunity to go to a community trauma, mental health
and addictions program.
Feeling safe for the first time in her life, Neen confronted
the haunting childhood memories that she tried to numb
with drugs: filth and chronic hunger, sexual assaults by
neighborhood men, routine physical and mental abuse
dished out by her mother. Realizing for the first time that
she had been a victim, she began to heal and reclaim
power over her life, embarking on a remarkable “upward
spiral,” that has no limit. Today, she’s the founder and
CEO of Healing Neen Inc., she works for the National
Center for Trauma-Informed Care, dedicating her life to
being a voice for those still lost and still silent. Traveling
the world to give speeches and work one on one with
women in prisons and hospitals, Neen continues to
transform her own life while helping others to embrace
her motto “where there’s breath, there’s hope.”
