In 1960, fewer than 5% of survey respondents reported that their psychiatrist had even mild interpersonal warmth (Hans Strupp, 1960). We continue to see these trends in our modern times, with a 2019 summary of social work practice similarly finding that a high level of clinician empathy was “uncommon” (Lynch, Newlands & Forrester, 2019).
Social Health Facilitation 101 fills a crucial gap in mental health. "Common factors" like empathy, acceptance, and authenticity are proven to improve client outcomes, yet they tend to be underrepresented in most clinical training.
If you've felt like something is missing from your own practice and crave greater satisfaction for yourself and your clients, this workshop is your answer.
