What is the role, and how do you work with an IECMH consultant?
Kelli McDermott and Sunny Cho talk about how the consultative stance can buffer against the pressure to be the expert or the fixer. The free toolkit from this session helps you notice that pull and come back to curiosity.
Rate yourself on the 8 consultant competencies in 8 to 10 minutes.
Learn the consultative stance in the Practical Certificate in IECMHC.
