Description: In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association published the updated version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the DSM-5. This expanded, more contemporary version of the DSM including substantial changes which modified diagnoses, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disabilities. It also reorganized the structure of the DSM to classify disorders in slightly different ways, such as eliminating “Mood Disorders” as a diagnostic category in favor of separate categories for “Depressive Disorders” and “Bipolar Disorders.” The primary goals of the DSM-5 were to streamline diagnoses and better align the DSM with the International Classification of Disease (ICD). The revision of the DSM-5 was not without controversy, as the mental health community adjusted to changes in the diagnostic criteria. 

Like previous versions of the DSM, the use of the DSM over the past 9 years revealed aspects of the manual that still needed clarification and modification. Whereas the recommended clarifications and revisions did not warrant a move to DSM-6, enough updates were recommended to lead to the publication of the DSM-5-Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), released in March 2022. In addition to aligning codes with ICD-10, the DSM-5-TR includes modifications that will likely influence some aspects of clinical work, including the inclusion of a new diagnosis of Prolonged Grief Disorder. This workshop will provide a quick overview of the major changes. Attendees will also have a chance to reflect on potential implications for practice, especially related to Prolonged Grief Disorder and the impact of racism/discrimination on symptom presentation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will gain knowledge on revisions included in the DSM-5-TR.
  • Attendees will be able to describe the new diagnosis of Prolonged Grief Disorder.
  • Attendees will reflect on the inclusion of identifying the impact of racism and discrimination on psychological symptoms.
  • Attendees will be able to reflect on changes and implication for clinical practice.

Description: Take a look back at CPA's plan to pursue legislation to grant prescriptive authority (RxP) to licensed psychologists with advanced degrees and training in prescribing psychotropic medications to increase access to appropriate mental health treatment for Coloradans. As part of the strategic planning, CPA is planning to provide a series of webinars targeting the education about the historical background of RxP and the future direction for this needed effort. In this CE credit webinar, we have two prescribing psychologists from New Mexico, which is the first state in the nation to grant RxP to psychologists. We are excited to hear from the experts on their experience with the legislative process in New Mexico and how we can incorporate their success into our needs in Colorado.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the current status of granting prescriptive authority to specially trained psychologists (RxP) in Colorado
  • Discuss the historical background and current status of RxP in New Mexico
  • Discuss the future direction of the RxP effort in Colorado and beyond

Description: Loneliness is a significant contributing factor to student attrition and poor mental health that has been drastically exacerbated in light of the pandemic. This presentation will highlight the 18+ month research process, development, launch, and impact of a scalable, digital intervention proactively addressing the issue of loneliness on campus. Results of a randomized controlled trial and subsequent launch at 30+ institutions, including Colorado State University and CU Denver, will be presented alongside key insights and learnings to assist campuses in decreasing loneliness amidst ongoing social anxiety and uncertainties.

Learning Objectives:
  • Analyze the current state of loneliness on campuses across the nation and its associated mental health impacts, both prior to and in light of COVID-19.
  • Analyze the opportunity to proactively support student belongingness and social connections to promote student mental health, well-being and success.
