The ability to have a conversation about sensitive issues such as grief and loss, trauma or suicide, is a critical part of providing quality care. Further, these situations can also increase provider anxiety who may feel uncomfortable or ill-equipped to address them. While talking about these challenges may not be easy, a provider that uses a person-centered and empathetic approach can be effective in supporting individuals who are struggling with feelings of isolation and desperation.
This interactive training will review how distress can manifest within different psychosocial dimensions, communication skills to confidently bring up and hold a strength-based conversation using unique strengths to empower and support, and provider competencies to integrate in practice.
