What We Can Do When a Person Appears “Too Sick, Unmotivated, or Resistant” to Treatment
CCBH Presents: This training program is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively engage and support individuals who may appear too sick, unmotivated, or resistant to treatment. Participants will learn strategies to support staff in outreaching hard-to-engage individuals, understand the challenges faced by patients/clients, and explore techniques to enhance motivation and facilitate change. Patricia E. Deegan, PhD, will explore questions of: How do we approach our work with people who are having this experience? How do we, personally, avoid the contagion of hopelessness and helplessness that can surround this work?
