Did You Say What They Heard? Informed Communication Styles for Effective Case Work
SESSION INFO
Sunday, June 30, 2024
2:45 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Knowing how to communicate is just as important as knowing what to communicate. There are countless diagnostic and assessment tools used in casework that identify strengths needs and responsivity. Consequently, there is an abundance of well-defined reports that identify what information needs to be communicated to our clients. However, there is an amazing lack of insight or guidance on how that information is best presented shared or communicated with clients. In this workshop students will be taught elements of Evident Change’s “Supervision Strategy” system, which identifies and teaches clinicians communication strategies tailored to the client’s individual communication style. Through scripted and free style roleplaying, during the workshop, students will discover that there is often more value, in terms of client success, in how you communicate than what you say.
