Focusing on the importance of communication, specifically communicating with people who are in need of support, this workshop will provide participants with information, frameworks and skill practice opportunities so they can respond with increased skills and confidence.

By the end of this workshop participants will have:

practiced skills to identify signs of individuals in need of support and made appropriate referrals
practiced communication skills including active listening and questioning
responded appropriately to people who are in need of support
reflected and articulated boundaries of their role
