Introduction
What are the unique experiences, beliefs, and knowledge of the women we work with when it comes to money. Money has such an impact on the experiences of our clients, but we rarely bring it up and talk about it, particularly with women. How do we begin the conversation of the financial wellness of our clients and how can we provide ongoing support to them to develop financial goals and achieve them. Financial wellness can lead to a greater sense of empowerment, and freedom.
This is all in addition to learning the Socratic Motivational Practice framework as part of mastering the secrets and soft skills of helping our clients through this methodology, and how to best tailor this framework to those you work with. The amount of knowledge in mental health doubles every eighteen months, and we all want to provide authentic care.
Please join us, arm yourself with tools, enhance your practice, and make a difference in the lives of your patients, clients, and their families.
