Our world is a complicated, evolving, frustrating place. Sometimes we lose people we need. Too often we don’t get what we want, or even what we need…for our health, happiness, and well-being. Sometimes we don’t get the opportunities we want or that we were lead to expect. Life is hard, and because it is, it’s a good idea to have a strategy to get through the hard times. The Volcano Model is such a strategy.
Workshop Objectives
- Learn how to use the Volcano Model to assess the losses, changes and coping strategies of their clients in the first session.
- By using this respectful client-centered model, the participants will learn how to choose therapeutic expressions that work best with individual clients and avoid those that lead to resistance.
- Learn how to use this model to help a family work together toward healthy communication and positive behavior.
