Setting the Stage for Success: Engaging Clients from the Start

Setting the Stage for Success:

Engaging Clients from the Start

Wednesday, November 6th, 2019  10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

 

Target Audience: 

This workshop is open to all levels of program staff  working in DYCD-funded  programs throughout the city.

Description:

Have you ever had a client who stopped showing up to appointments or a young person who never returned to program? How do you get an accurate understanding of their needs from the start and build a relationship that will keep them motivated? Engaging clients from the moment you meet and making the intake phase a friendly conversation that provides a full picture of the individual is KEY to successful goal-setting and continued motivation. We all want our youth and clients to succeed, and it starts with building a strong foundational relationship.

 

So how do you get the information needed on the intake form while still engaging the client in a meaningful way? This session will help you answer this question. Using interactive activities, role plays, case studies, and existing intake forms, you will leave this session with strength-based skills for engaging, assessing, and supporting new clients from the first meeting through to the achievement of goals.

 

Facilitated by: Lisa Furst and Cristina Harris, Vibrant Emotional Health
