Do you feel stuck?
How do you untangle complex clients and best support them and their families?
Get ready, because this year's guest speakers are tackling the toughest topics we've covered to date.
Supporting families of selective eaters is complex. It requires us to often go beyond textbook recommendations. We need to dig deep in fostering safe relationships, built around trust and a good therapeutic fit. Understanding how to apply the principles we have learned and when to go against the grain becomes key.
Have you ever asked yourself:
Which client has the best therapeutic fit? Can I decline a client?
Have you ever thought about how you set up your appointments? What should be the logistics around the outpatient process?
How do you start the conversation to build trust and rapport?
How do you uncover what is really getting in the way of a child eating?
How do you foster a trauma sensitive approach?
And how do you help parents advocate for their child's unique needs in the school system?
Our four powerhouse guest speakers are going to share their golden nuggets with you.
This webinar series is for you if...
You already see children with picky eating in your practice
