Evidence-based practices clearly demonstrate that the relationship a professional develops with their client is critical. Creating a relationship that is supportive, empathetic, accountable and provides appropriate advocacy is foundational in the support and change process for victim/survivors and those that cause harm. Developing effective working relationships requires balancing empathy and boundaries with clear goals and an attention to resolving barriers. During the webinar, you will learn the components of developing effective relationships with victim/survivors and offenders including attending to our own biases. Assessing the needs of the client and matching our responses to those needs will also be discussed.
