Best Practices in Whole Person Care
Online Course: Winter 2021
When we compassionately and skillfully incorporate best practices into our work, people are more likely to trust and allow us to partner with them to make positive changes in their lives. Embodying best practices is essential in our work with people who have too often been marginalized and mistreated. This training provides an overview of selected person-centered, racially-equitable, housing-focused, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, peer-integrated, self-compassionate approaches that inform our work.
