As providers we always want to maintain our objectivity and compassion when supporting individuals in their recovery. It becomes challenging when the provider’s experience drives the client’s process and the potential for collaborative engagement and successful outcomes are lost.
This interactive two-hour learning opportunity will discuss how stigma and cognitive bias develops and the importance of intentionality in language and engagement. Content will also discuss strategies to reduce the provider-driven potential by using person-centered and recovery-oriented approaches that focus on client strengths and goals. When people are heard and supported, they are more likely to commit to their own recovery and wellness process.
