Let’s be clear. The “finish line” in mental health treatment looks different for each and every client that entrusts us with their care. And, we know that when clients reach out for help, they really mean it! So why is it that clients sometimes drop out before they have reached their goals for therapy? We, as counselors, social workers and psychologists working in private practice, know that we have a gift to offer clients. We build rapport, create a gameplan, and then help clients through their journey of change. If you are struggling to retain clients past the first few sessions and are tired of watching them leave just as unfulfilled in the work as you are, then join us for a day long exploration of clinician leadership. You will leave with practice tools to implement immediately as well as a set of new friends and colleagues who are rooting for you in your own “practice of the practice."
Group counseling is a frequently used counseling format. Counselors need to be familiar with this format as well as the use of EBPs (e.g., motivational interviewing, MI) in a group setting in order to develop group community. This workshop will provide an opportunity for dialogue about the application of EBPs (e.g., MI) into practice.

Group counseling is a highly popular and widely employed format in the field of counseling. It is imperative for counselors to have a solid understanding of this format, along with the utilization of Evidence-Based Practices such as motivational interviewing, specifically in a group setting.
The 2023 Because We Care workshop will ask the questions “Do you remember why you chose healthcare; Do you remember the importance of laughter; and Do you remember what resources are available to you, your patients and their families?” Oftentimes we become so wrapped up in the daily tasks we lose sight of the reason we’re here and struggle to survive. We will discuss how important laughter is, what resources are available and how to support staff and families when loss occurs.
Join us April 21, 2023 from 9AM - 12:15PM In Person at Northwest AHEC at 475 Deacon Boulevard, Winston Salem, NC.
