Capability Levels: Evolving; Established
Is your client engaged within a visitor, a complainant, or a customer type relationship?
Practitioners have been known to suggest that some male clients are more difficult to work with. Although there has been a noticeable increase in men presenting for support, often for the first time in their lives, challenges often lie in recognising what level of engagement men are seeking and how practitioners can appropriately respond, with a potential consequence of client disengagement.
The various levels of therapeutic engagement relationships (visitor - not identifying a problem or desiring change; complainant - identifying a problem but external to self; and customer - identifying a problem and a desire to change) have been revised in similar formats over the years. This webinar will reexamine and compare these ideas, exploring concrete and practical ways of working with male clients and moving into deeper levels of engagement methods. Clinical practice examples will be provided throughout, including applicable strategies and processes for attendees to consider within their own practice.
Who should register? Suitable for emerging, evolving and established practitioners working in a therapeutic setting or within goal-based client work.
