Over the past five years we have seen the mass movement of immigrants and refugees around the world, Here in the United States, and in Maryland, we are home to immigrants and refugees from dozens of countries. They come here for many reasons: economics, war, safety, or ad desire for a better life.

Each immigrant brings an individual world of culture, experiences, and needs. However, there are some common psychological experiences and needs as well. The purpose of this seminar is to assist mental health professionals in developing the knowledge and skill set to work effectively and in a culturally relevant way to address the psychological needs of immigrants and refugees.

In recent years, literature in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and neurology has increasingly come to focus on the role of the brain in psychotherapy.  Various theorists and researchers propose mechanisms to explain how emotional disturbances reflect brain function and dysfunction, as well as how psychological treatments modify brain activity to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.  

In this program, Dr. Windisch will focus on the ways effective psychotherapy relates to brain circuitry and function. He will discuss a number of models of mind-brain-behavior integration, as well as the findings of new neuroimaging techniques that reveal specific brain changes associated with change in psychotherapy. He will present a general model of the psychotherapy process that is based in and seeks to modify brain functioning to achieve results. This seminar will have theoretical, research, and practice-oriented components

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized behavior therapy that treats patients who suffer from disorders related to emotional dysregulation. Emotional dysregulation is a component of substance use disorders. DBT is based on a dialectical worldview and balancing acceptance and change.
 
As a treatment, DBT focuses on restructuring cognitions to be more in alignment with a dialectical worldview and treats motivational and skill deficits which interfere with patients’ effective living. This continuing education seminar is designed to provide clinicians with the theoretical framework of DBT with a specific view of substance use disorders through the lens of DBT. Participants will learn how to use DBT approaches in the treatment of substance use disorders. Since DBT is an ancillary treatment, approaches for integrating DBT into a comprehensive treatment plan will be discussed.

Yanko Kranov leads the class on how to set up and program the Arduino Board. The "Arduino Blink Challenge" lesson explores how computer and software engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as providing systems for turning lights on and off automatically.

Participants will work in teams to set up and program an Arduino board to turn a light on and off at a 5 second on and 2 second off interval. Teams build their system, program and test it, then reflect on the challenge, and present their experiences to their class.

About Pop-Up Classes

Pop-up classes are extracurricular workshops designed to facilitate hands-on learning and discovery. The LDNL series this fall includes: Geographic Information Systems, Practical Photoshop, Basics of Tinkercad, 3D Scanning, and the Arduino Blink Challenge. Classes are available to faculty/staff/students.

In this workshop Billy Friebele and Jon Malis will introduce the concept of 3D scanning. This includes handheld infrared scanners, 3D scanning attachments for cell phones, photogrammetry and free apps that allow users to create 3D models from photographs.

A 3D scanner is a device that analyses an object to collect data about its shape. It then constructs a digital model that can be altered, animated, or 3D printed. This can also be accomplished by stitching multiple photographs together. 
Participants are encouraged to bring objects to scan.

Note: shiny objects are more challenging! We will experiment with different scanning techniques and learn.

In this class participants will explore the basics of Tinkercad, taught by Youlanda Halterman. Tinkercad is an easy web based tool that allows you to design 3D models.

In this pop-up, the participants will learn how to manipulate shapes in order to create 3 dimensional objects and create a 3D model.

The 3D model will later be printed at the library. Participants will create a user account that will allow them to continue to explore and design 3d models anytime and anywhere. That way particpants can practice with Tinkercad after the pop-up course and get even more comfortable with the web based tool.

This pop-up class taught be Julie Sayo covers the fundamentals of photoshop. Photoshop is an Adobe editing software that allows you to edit and manipulate photos.

This class will cover how to retouch images, color corrections, digitally restore old or damaged photos just to name a few. 

Participants are encouraged to bring in images for class. These images can be digital or print and will be restored during class. The class introduces the fundamentals of photoshop therefore there is no prior knowledge of photoshop necessary to take the class.

The Georaphic Information Systems (GIS) workshop will be taught by Robert Neff in Lab A. Participants will learn the various uses for GIS through interactive exercises.

By the end of the pop-up course students will have completed a spatial analysis and have a greater understanding for GIS. Participants will be able to use tools that help identify real-world problems using publicly accesible data. 

GIS is the dominant tool for spatial anaylsis because it works with all sectors of the economy, managing utilities and analysis for human-environmental systems and processes. Being able to work with GIS is a highly marketable skill and can be helpful for future courses.
