Self-Study
SELF-STUDY ONLINE SEMINAR
This seminar is clinically-based for anyone invested in improving their skills.
For New York State Licensed LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and CASACs,
2 CEUs are available once the post-test and evaluation are completed.
Was that an open-ended question or a closed-ended one? Are we really sure we know the difference and how often when we reflect do we realize that we may have missed the opportunity for a good open-ended question?
What more comes with the Art of Questioning? How do we get buy-in from our patients and clients; and how do we ask thoughtful and exploratory questions without making our patients and clients feel like they are being interrogated?
Please join us, arm yourself with tools, enhance your practice, and the lives of your patients, clients, and their families.
At the end of this seminar, you will have:
- Learned the framework of the Socratic Motivational Practice to master the Art of Questioning.
- Learned the Principles, Techniques, Steps, and Do's and Don'ts of the Socratic Motivational Practice to master the Art of Questioning.
- Increased your tools to helping our patients and clients, by identifying at least one thing you will start doing differently, at the end of the webinar, as a result of the Socratic Motivational Practice framework.
- Everything you want in one place, including an illustration of how to implement the newly learned skills during our role plays.
- Received your certificate by email immediately after your post-test and evaluation are completed.
