Course Description

In this dynamic and fast-paced introductory course for OT/COTAs, PT/PTAs, SLPs, Mental Health Professionals including Rehabilitation Counselors, and family caregivers examine the impact psychosocial factors have on therapeutic outcomes. This seminar will keep you moving as you discover how illness and injury alter self-identity; identify ways loss, grief, and depression diminish rehabilitation potential; and learn to recognize coping styles.

In this training you’ll have the opportunity to improve your therapeutic skills and to learn how to practice what you preach – good self-care.
