CCDA presents two speakers to help practitioners recognize and deal with signs of stress and distress—both in ourselves and in our clients!
This event is free to CCDA Members!
Notice and Respond:

She understands firsthand how to evaluate and assist clients in distress. She presents Notice and Respond, a program—Established by Cornell University to establish a foundational shared understanding of how to actualize the concept of a “caring community.” The Notice and Respond Program helps practitioners address interactions with clients who may be in need of mental health support outside of the practitioner’s scope of practice.
Although designed for students, Jennie will present to all career develop practitioners on how to recognize the signs of distress of their clients and ways to effectively respond. Additionally, participants will explore common concerns that may present barriers to taking actions and learn why a proactive response is vital.
