WEBINAR DETAILS
In this work it is critically important to recognize
that all people, including clients, are multidimensional. Identifying how individuals
see and interact with the world around them can significantly assist in
providing higher levels of care. With this in mind, you can skillfully work
with, and alongside, those who are perceived to be “challenging” instead of
experiencing them as “difficult.” This webinar will focus on improving the quality
of work by providing information and skills on how to be a better practitioner
when working with various types of personalities.

- Hospice
