These skills are vital for creating a foundation of trust within professional-family relationships.

The workshop will emphasize strengths-based perspectives, encouraging professionals to identify and leverage the existing strengths and resources within families. By adopting this approach, professionals can empower families to take an active role in their own healing and well-being.
