SUMMARY:Lutheran Faith Community Nurse Association Education Event
DESCRIPTION:Hope in Practice: Applying Solution-Focused Communication \nTechniques in Response to Crisis \nPresented by Laura Aagaard\, MA\, MS \nCourse Description:  As a faith community nurse\, or other professional in ministry\, you are on the front lines of mental health and substance use care. It is possible that you engage with people and their families during some of their most vulnerable moments. This interactive session introduces attendees to the Solution Focused model\, an evidence-informed\, strengths-based approach that emphasizes hope\, possibility\, and patient resources over pathology\, diagnosis and problems. \nRather than focusing on what’s wrong\, this model guides faith community professionals in helping people move toward hope\, and what is possible. Participants will learn and practice strategies such as the miracle question\, scaling techniques\, and exception finding\, all tailored for use in time-limited\, high-stress community environments. \nRegister >
