Women are complex and sensitive souls. We as women often strive for perfectionism that is dictated from an impossible cultural “ norm” of stimuli from the outside world. These self -imposed demands drain us of a vital, deep connection to our souls via our precious physical bodies. Our deep spiritual hunger is often misinterpreted as bodily hunger.
In this women’s workshop we will dive into a explorations that connect our soul back to body and vice versa. Together we will seek to identify our deepest longings and creative needs. We will do this in order to claim a more sacred and grounded ability to be in present time bringing into focus the roots of our passions and a better understanding of our instinctual selves.
Through discussions, writing prompts, and art making, we will dive into the deep reservoir of personal connection together.

I’m so excited to offer Healing Complex Trauma, my first training working with Janina Fisher’s Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors. I’ve designed a training series that will support the practical application of Fisher’s work and my own somatic, relational approach. Fisher’s approach is so useful, and her writing and research is complex. My hope is to work with real cases, identify the appropriate steps at each stage, and help all participants apply parts work.
This work is useful to help clients who

SWBHIPA Diabetes Project Training
When: Monday Feb. 24, 2020 5:30 p.m – 7:30 p.m.
Where: 3200 Carlisle NE basement classroom
What: 2nd Training for the True Health NM Diabetes Project; 2 CEU’s will be offered
********************************
During this training, SWBHIPA member Dana Paine will be talking about the medical, nutritional and physiological issues that can occur with diabetes. This is based on his 15 years of experience dealing with this population. Additionally, SWBHIPA member Cynthia Sontag will address the multidimensional issues that need to be looked at in terms of treatment and the prevalence of depression in this population. A light supper will be provided.
How the coordinated efforts of True Health NM and SWBHIPA referrals work:
All True Health members with diabetes are automatically sent to their Case Management team; part of what the True Health case managers do is administer the Diabetes Distress Scale as a screening tool and offer behavioral health support in addition to any needed medical/nutritional resources. If their member is responsive to talking with a behavioral health provider, the case manager sends a referral email out to an identified group of SWBHIPA providers who are interested in these referrals and who have completed this training. The first training was done in 2018. True Health has been pleased with their ability to directly link a member with diabetes to a mental health practitioner and has asked the SWBHIPA Liaison Committee to identify additional providers interested in working with this population.
If you are interested in attending this training, please send an email indicating your interest to:

We have had an incredible year of growth!
The SWBHIPA Board of Directors worked hard to make multiple decisions that required us to accomplish many tasks. Our first decision was to apply for non-profit status with the IRS (501c6). This has been a goal since the inception of our Association. We had to update and upgrade several items of infrastructure to meet the application requirements. Since membership has increasingly grown over the last 7 years (now 245 members; 44 this year alone including the 9 individuals and 35 added to existing groups) we needed to do this anyway. Here is a summary of what we did:
Two major accomplishments finalized in the last 2 months have been the approval by the IRS for the 501c6 non-profit status and getting approval for most of what we asked for with the new New Mexico Health contract. Of special note with regard to this new contract, they agreed to panel all new SWBHIPA members that want to be included. (Getting paneled with insurance companies has been a problem with several major insurers, as they close their networks. SWBHIPA is continuing to address this issue and seek out new contract opportunities.)
As I step down from my position as President into the Ex Officio role of advising the Board, I want to say it has been a pleasure and an honor to serve. Thank you to all who have contributed to our growth and change this year.
Please volunteer for our committees so we can keep growing and offering more benefits to members.
Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous year to come.
Cynthia Sontag, LCSW
