The Secret to Meaningful Relationships

What you'll learn

Course overview

Most clients lack healthy relationships - and let's be honest, many professionals also struggle in the relationship department. The fact is, relationships are complicated, messy, and (according to Dr. William Glasser) at the root of most human problems. Today, the vast majority of clinicians acknowledge that relationship issues are a central concern for most of their clients. The link between healthy relationships and client success in both treatment and prevention programs is well established and widely recognized. Therefore, it is imperative that clients are provided the tools to create healthy bonds, form fulfilling relationships, and heal broken unions. This course unpacks the complex nature of human connection and provides 20 clear, actionable guidelines designed to help clients build healthier, more functional relationships. These connection strategies are a valuable prevention or intervention tool that can be used for one-on-one conversations, didactic presentations, or role-playing exercises. This course is applicable for practitioners of all levels, as well as prevention professionals. Course content applies to various client populations (i.e., addiction, mental health, etc.) and is relevant for services provided in a variety of settings (clinics, shelters, jails, etc.).
