#SpeakerSeries - Presentation by Professor Shari Robinson-Lynk
September 28, 2015 - 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
Title: Infusing Your Story into Your Practice
The Conscious Use of Self, a concept (and an article) co-authored by Nancy E. Sherman in 2005 speaks to the social work practitioner as the "tool", or the "instrument", intentionally used to assist our clients in creating change in their lives. It also speaks to the value in (appropriate!) sharing of one's story and how to do so culturally appropriately to assist in strengthening the client-practitioner relationship.
Join Shari for a experiential presentation that is applicable to both IP and CO areas of focus.
Lunch will be provided!
