SCWK-37000 Workshop: Understanding and Working with Client Resistance

This workshop is intended to provide students with insight and skills that will enhance their professional capacity when working with clients who are treatment resistant.  Resistance will be explored as it applies to individuals with chronic mental illness, involuntary clients, and unmotivated clients.  Concepts related to clinician resistance will also be explored.  Guided by the Stage of Change model, this workshop will emphasize how social workers, or those in other helping professions, can identify, engage, and intervene with traditionally challenging individuals.  Best practice models for service delivery will also be explored.
