Cahier pour les intervenants psychosociaux

Le Self-Study Workbook for Health & Social Services Professionals : Module 3 Psychosocial Service Providers a été conçu à des fins de formation linguistique.  La nature même de l'ouvrage fait en sorte que l'information s'y trouvant n'est disponible qu'en anglais.
 

Ce cahier et les documents vidéo et audio qui l’accompagnent vous proposent une variété de scénarios reproduisant des situations types que vivent quotidiennement des intervenants psychosociaux. Les apprenants qui visionnent les vidéos, écoutent les documents audio et effectuent les exercices du Cahier apprendront à utiliser les termes anglais appropriés qui leur permettront :

 

  • d’établir une première prise de contact pour ensuite développer une relation de confiance;
  • de poser des questions pour déterminer les besoins du client;
  • de poser des questions pour identifier les symptômes;
  • de faire preuve d’empathie relativement aux préoccupations du client;
  • de faire des suggestions et de créer un plan avec le client;
  • d’aider le client à développer des stratégies d’adaptation;
  • d’intervenir auprès d’un client peu communicatif;
  • de surveiller des situations et de négocier des solutions.
