Personality Quirks Through the Lens of the Enneagram on April 27th
10:00-11:00am CST online with JCCC Ed Talk by Sally King
The Enneagram is to 2021 as the Myers Briggs was to 1991 — but better! Come hear what a clinical social worker has to say about this ancient tool that refers to the nine different types or styles of personality, with each representing a worldview that resonates with the way people think, feel and act in relation to the world, others and themselves. Similar to the Meyers Briggs but quite different in many ways, it delves deeper into the core motivations, defense mechanisms and fears that often lie in the subconscious of our personality. This tool will be “tried on” as an alternative (and strengths-based) model of personality that many may find more empowering and clinically relevant.

Believe it or not, more older adults are finding love than ever – even marriage – when they’re over age sixty-five. This lively, humorous and informative talk will touch on the emotional, physical, and social needs of older adults and why romantic and platonic (re)connections are essential for quality and quantity of life.

Other co-morbid issues related to medication and medical factors and how this effects libido and connection will be discussed as well.

Where is Emotion Built and How to Manage it Without Losing Your Mind on May 25th
10:00-11:00am CST online with JCCC Ed Talk by Sally King
Emotions have increasingly become the focus of most enlightened Americans in the 21st century. Baby Boomers and younger were born into a post-psychology world. Ironically, despite this increased access and focus on emotions, things haven’t fared well. Mental illness disability is at an all time high. Assumed to be automatic, innate, and often uncontrollable, emotions have become a critical part of our own inner truth. Come learn what neuroscience is saying to this assumption — it might surprise you.

Telomeres: How Diet and Exercise Impacts Genes and Vulnerability in Aging on June 11th
8:30-11:30am CST at JCCC by Sally King
Telomeres are the ends of your chromosomal DNA and new research shows they may direct your personal trajectory of aging more than we know. Come learn the basic science of telomere growth and “death” and what impacts this. This training will be helpful to anyone, any age, as the earlier you start preventative measures, the longer you can stave off chronic physical and mental health disease states. You will come away from this training with a renewed understanding of lifestyle factors that you can control (or can’t) and how random factors such as mindfulness, hotdog intake, and your childhood neighborhood may impact this.
Social workers, LMHTs, LPCs, and LCPCs will earn 3 contact hours. APRNs, RNs, and LPNs may self-submit to KSBN.
