Free SAMHSA Webinar on Relationships in Women's Behavioral Health

Being Real: The Power of Authentic Therapeutic Relationships in Women's Services 

Tuesday, February 14, 2017, 2:00 - 3:30 P.M. EST

As the field shifts toward implementing evidence-based practices, it is important to remember that no intervention is effective without having the foundational pieces of good clinical care in place.  How do you build authentic rapport that generates the trust women need to facilitate healing?  This free webinar kicks the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA's) five-part Relationships Matter! series, which explores the role of relationships in the lives of women experiencing mental health and substance use issues.

Being Real: The Power of Authentic Therapeutic Relationships in Women's Services looks at the therapeutic relationships that help women engage in services and recovery.  Topics will include:
  • Why relationships matter
  • Trust and rapport in service delivery
  • Defining and creating therapeutic alliance
  • Peers and peer relationships
  • Cultural understanding and responsiveness
  • Managing relationships within group settings
  • Building connections
