Course Description

As professionals, we know we have a responsibility to remain current in our practices.  The question is, how do we do this?  How do we develop a process for ourselves which promotes increased skills and understanding with which to provide services to our clients? Although most of us entered the profession with the desire to help others, likely few of us understood the demands for continued competence that are inherent in effective practice.  In this workshop, we will address these questions and discuss how we might reflect on our current abilities and respond to the demands of our practice.

At the conclusion of this presentation the participants will:

• Understand professionalism and the importance of staying current in ones practice.
• Be able to assess one’s own abilities and identify their area of need for professional growth and development.
