How to handle challenging client situations

Health and wellbeing

  • Tuesday, 12.40-13.20
  • | The ACC 5

This session will help you manage people who:

  • seek your advice but constantly ignore your suggestions 
  • frequently do not attend or turn up late for appointments
  • do not follow their prescribed treatment or attendance regimes
  • who ask for support but do not take the actions you recommend
  • want you to ‘fix’ them in the short term but choose not to take any responsibility for their longer term health problems.

Techniques from person-centred counselling and motivational interviewing will be demonstrated and you’ll be shown how to apply them to clinical situations.  

This session is run by Jennifer Percival, a trained nurse, midwife health visitor and counsellor.
