<i>"Just Say NO”: Assertiveness Skills You Can Share (and Use) with Clients**</i> is a half-day workshop for mental health professionals interested in helping clients (and themselves) to communicate effectively with
<b>authenticity </b>and <b>confidence</b>, even in situations of conflict or uncertainty.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:13.5pt">Course Content</span><br>
Participants will identify their own style of communication before learning and practicing a simple assertiveness technique to share with clients.
<br>
<br>
We'll compare <b>the elements of assertive behavior</b> with those of other types of communication, and discuss how to incorporate assertiveness training into our work with clients.
<br>
<br>
Participants will have an opportunity to <b>explore personal assertiveness challenges</b> related to the practice of counseling, such as
<b>dealing with clients</b> who request extra session time or who fail to pay for services.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:13.5pt">Learning Objectives</span><br>
At the end of this training, participants will be able to:<br>
<br>
• Understand and explain the difference between assertive, aggressive, passive and passive-aggressive communication styles
<br>
• Identify their own “go-to” communication style<br>
• Teach clients a simple technique for communicating assertively<br>
• Apply the technique with clients and others who push boundaries<br>
