Reflective Practice: Looking at Your Work from the Inside Out
About this session
Professionals who work in human services and the court system are engaged in work that is both rewarding and emotionally intrusive. Reflective Practice is a relationship-based practice that assists in mitigating the effects of the emotionally intrusive nature of the work by helping individuals examine their current and past actions, emotions, experiences, and responses in order to evaluate their work performance and learn to improve in the future. This presentation will cover: why reflective practice is important for helping professionals, an overview of the core components of the Facilitating Attuned Interactions (FAN) Model of Reflective Practice, a summary of the work that the Nebraska Center for Reflective Practice does and its training program.
Intended Audience: We believe all helping professionals can benefit from Reflective Practice and apply it to their work with children and families.
