Description

Do you look forward to needing a hospital, nursing home, psychotherapist, or any other health/mental health service? Neither do our clients and patients!  Even though clients and patients dread needing us, we have a lot of control over how they ultimately perceive the experience of receiving necessary services. When we make a health or mental health experience less stressful for those who seek help, there are better clinical outcomes, less complaints and fewer malpractice claims. This engaging program will help you better understand the mindset of those you serve and make necessary changes so patients and clients are better set up for success.
