We collaborated with the IHC and designed skill practice session for Choices and Changes graduates.

Past graduates practice skills that they have learned in a C&C workshop with an actor simulating a typical patient. The graduates receive feedback on ways to make best use of their skills that they can use in their interactions with their clients. These sessions are intended to increase a graduate’s confidence and achieve proficiency in C&C skills.

These sessions are offered on a quarterly basis at no cost. Each session is 2 hours in length with a maximum of 6 health care providers per session.

Prerequisite: Choices and Changes

These sessions provide opportunities for past participants to practice Brief Action Planning Skills they learned during the full day workshop. The trainer role plays the part of a patient or client appropriate to the group participating in the calls.

These sessions are offered on a quarterly basis at no cost. Each teleconference is 45 minutes in length with a maximum of 6 health care providers per session.

Prerequisite: Brief Action Planning

For any healthcare provider who has attended any of the health care provider trainings, we offer an opportunity for them to focus on their communication skills while playing with the Empathy Toy. Two trained facilitators will lead a group through games that allow attendees to reflect on their communication skills and incorporate these reflections in the way they interact with others.

These sessions are offered on a quarterly basis at no cost. Play-Talk is 1.5 hour in length with a maximum of 6 health care providers per workshop.
