Image for Assessment and Diagnosis in Community Mental Health

Assessment and Diagnosis in Community Mental Health

In the CMS environment, assessing and diagnosing mental health issues needs to take into the community, the culture of the patient, and socioeconomic factors. Understanding how these play an active role in the daily life of the patient helps the therapist understand nuances and also increase awareness about access (or lack of access) to treatment resources.

Clinical Foundations: Empathy, reflective listening, and the art of asking good questions

Therapists know the importance of empathy, listening, and asking questions. However, sometimes the importance of clinical demands overshadow these basic clinical skills we may have learned ‘way back when’. This course is a refresher to remind clinicians at all levels about the importance of empathic listening and the art of asking good questions.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Clinical Supervision and Practice

COVID-19 made dramatic changes in how we approach therapy. Before the pandemic, as a whole, therapists were tentative to accept innovations like telehealth sessions and digital tools as supports. The therapeutic alliance is the most powerful force in counseling… How can it possibly duplicate that bond? The same assumptions were made about clinical supervision. But virtual supervision has improved access for many supervisees along with providing new challenges, too.
