Course Description
A supportive and collaborative team is essential
to the success of any therapeutic process. This

addressed key components for counseling families and/or clients during the duration of their therapies, including: intake, discussing progress, and discharge criteria and timing. These conversations can at times be difficult and require a certain level of counseling skills to navigate various situations.

Overall, the participants learned to develop and utilize empathy to create a positive and productive support team for clients and families.
