Social Justice of Individuals with Disabilities: Implications for Practice in Rehabilitation, Counseling, and Human Services
Daniel Kelsey, Ph.D., CRC Associate Professor, Department of Rehabilitation and Counseling University of Wisconsin-Stout
This presentation will explore the implications of social justice among individuals with disabilities on the professional practices of rehabilitation, counseling, and human services. Individuals with disabilities continue to experience stigma, prejudice, and discrimination that result in social injustice. Counselors, psychology professionals, rehabilitation counselors, and all human services professionals must be aware of the social injustices that individuals with disabilities experience and the role that society has in maintaining them; otherwise, professionals risk perpetuating these social injustices.

Grief and Loss in Addiction
Julie Bates-Maves, PhD, LPC Associate Professor, Clinical Mental Health Counseling University of Wisconsin-Stout
This presentation will focus on addiction-specific grief practices. When clients enter recovery, many begin to grieve what was lost during the addiction and celebrate the beginning of sobriety and recovery. Considerations for the grief reactions that can come with losing an addiction are an important aspect of care.
