ABOUT CONVERSATIONS WORTH HAVING FOR CLINICIANS, CASEWORKERS, AND COACHES

As helping professionals, our conversations are instrumental in our work with clients. They can support our clients in moving into a place of curiosity, creativity, and connection or in staying stuck in a place of fear, blame, or shame. This series explores simple strategies and applications for turning all of your conversations with clients into ones worth having.
