Description
Walk-in psychotherapy services are highly advantageous primarily as they are very accessible - clients come at a moment that fits for them without the usual delays related to appointment making. For that very reason the walk-in session is likely to capture a moment of client readiness. Walk-ins are also a move toward a more culturally and socially appropriate way for clients to access services. For example, marginalised minorities that are not accustomed to therapy are more likely to attend this kind of service.This workshop will introduce the processes of walk-in therapy using video examples. It will also aim to stimulate a lively conversation about this form of single-session service delivery and a discussion of common concerns for those who have had little or no experience with the walk-in form of service delivery.
Professionals including counsellors, therapists, case managers, team leaders or managers who have a focus on working with individuals and who are interested in incorporating family work into their practice.
