Webinar Description

Living in the pandemic has exposed lots of relationship challenges on a personal and professional level, poor communication being one of them. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in exponential growth in teletherapy services. This paradigm shift did not require training in delivering telehealth services and came without uniform standards of practice. However, it is acknowledged that mental health professionals providing telehealth services need advanced communication skills.

This communication’s skill building training will introduce clinicians to the Kendall’s Life Languages System of Communication, also known as the 7 Life Languages™ Profile (Kendall & Kendall, 2019). This communication tool captures how people communicate based on how they act, think, and feel. Clinicians will learn the concept of conscious communication, which will help them to listen with empathy, speak responsibly, build relationship equity with their clients, and help clients effectively manage conflict.

Qualifications:
