A primary focus of your work is to move participants
toward greater self-sufficiency. You want them to take more responsibility
for and control of their lives. Yet you may find that you are doing tasks
for participants and then becoming frustrated when they become dependent on
you. At the same time you do not want to abandon people who come to you for
help.
In this fun-filled, interactive, two-hour session,
Beverly Ford gives you practical strategies for shifting your helping
approaches to ones that empower participants to partner with you. In this
session you will learn how to:
-
Change helping words into empowering ones
-
Make the participant the lead partner and you
the back up partner
-
Use participant strengths and resources in
combination with yours
-
Build plans with participants rather than for
them, and
-
Engage participants in sharing responsibility
for solving problems.
