This is not an endorsement. "Just Say NO" Assertive Skills You Can Share (and Use) with Clients** With Tina Gilbertson, LPC * How often have you heard a client describe a situation where they were afraid to stand up for themselves, or uncertain about how to do that effectively? * Have you ever wished you had a specific tool you could offer them to make every interaction easier? * Have you wished you had such a tool yourself? "Just Say NO": Assertiveness Skills You Can Share (and Use) with Clients** is a half-day workshop for mental health professionals interested in helping clients (and themselves) to communicate effectively with authenticity and confidence, even in situations of conflict or uncertainty. Course Content Participants will identify their own style of communication before learning and practicing a simple assertiveness technique to share with clients. We'll compare the elements of assertive behavior with those of other types of communication, and discuss how to incorporate assertiveness training into our work with clients. Participants will have an opportunity to explore personal assertiveness challenges related to the practice of counseling, such as dealing with clients who request extra session time or who fail to pay for services. Learning Objectives At the end of this training, participants will be able to: * Understand and explain the difference between assertive, aggressive, passive and passive-aggressive communication styles * Identify their own "go-to" communication style * Teach clients a simple technique for communicating assertively * Apply the technique with clients and others who push boundaries Details Date: Friday, February 28, 2014 Time: 1pm - 5pm Place: 1235 SE Division St., Portland 97202 Cost: $99 before Feb. 21, $119 thereafter CEUs earned: 4 Registration is limited to a maximum of 12 participants.
