<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Social workers often work with clients that experience mental health issues. In providing services to these individuals, social workers may
often question when it is appropriate to refer a client for psychiatric medication assessment and what information is needed in such a referral. Furthermore, when working with clients that are currently prescribed psychotropic medications, social workers
may find it advantageous to have a competent knowledge base of commonly used medications as well as adverse reactions or side effects that need to be reported to the collaborating psychiatric professional.
<span style="color:black">This workshop will increase the professional social worker’s knowledge and skills by exploring these issues and meeting the following objectives:</span><br>
<br>
<b>Presentation Objectives: Upon completion of this 3 hour seminar/workshop, the SW will be able to:</b><br>
<br>
1) Demonstrate knowledge of common psychotropic medications, indications for use, and basic prescribing considerations<br>
<br>
2) Recognize warning signs indicative of adverse drug reactions and side effects which should be reported to the prescriber<br>
<br>
3) Discuss referral and collaborative considerations in medication management, including when to refer and what to report</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
