Spanish Speaking Skills: Establishing a Strong Therapeutic Relationship with Your Spanish Speaking Client (Self-Study)

Self-Study

SELF-STUDY WEBINAR

This seminar is clinically-based for anyone invested in improving their skills.

For only New York State Licensed LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and CASACs, 2 CEUs are available once the post-test and evaluation are completed.


You know your successful work and outcomes depend on a strong therapeutic relationship. You know making use of an interpreter takes away this opportunity, and you know that your assessment will be unreliable unless a connection is established.

You then ask, how do I do that when I don't speak Spanish? Whether you are covering for a Spanish speaking colleague, or have to do a one time or short term assessment for a monolingual Spanish speaking patient or client, possessing the Spanish language skills to establish a strong therapeutic relationship can transform your career more than you can imagine.

Join us, add a skill to your toolkit, position yourself to better help your patient, client, enhance your career, and agency

Please join us and take your practice and career to the next level, by learning exactly what you need for your clinical Spanish.


At the end of this webinar you will have:

  1. Spanish words and phrases that are key in a clinical setting;
  2. How to develop rapport with Spanish-speaking clients and their families;
  3. How to assess the psychosocial history and other clinical information;
