Workshop Overview: "Masterclass: Effective Brief Contact in a Single Session" in Partnership with the Cancer Council WA

Building on skills obtained in our One- day workshop: Effective Brief Contact in a Single Session, participants will fine-tune these previously learned strategies to improve effectiveness with their clients or patients. Participants are invited to bring scenarios which they regularly encounter or which they dread. The trainer will explore with you and the group the relevant skills and approaches that would facilitate effective, yet brief, contact with the bereaved based on these scenarios. To get the most out of this training it is recommended that participants have experience working with the bereaved. 

The participants will leave the training with extensive practise in using these skills and gain insight into the benefits and challenges of such focused work. from the perspective of therapist and client.
