Times New Roman

40-50 percent of adults in the USA have basic or low levels of literacy in English. Many have become adept at hiding this from others, but it has a tremendous impact on daily life -- including therapy. When therapy falls flat, sometimes it is due to a mismatch between the interventions and a client's literacy skills.

This workshop will cover how to identify if a client may have low levels of literacy, how to adapt therapeutic paperwork and interventions for clients with low literacy, and how to empower clients in both their mental health and literacy journeys.

 

 (Trainer:  Lindsey Foss is a therapist and private practice owner. She emphasizes a holistic approach to mental health, centered on the premise that complete wellness involves balancing mind, body, spirit, and relationships. Her professional experiences include working in crisis intervention, school-based therapy, and private practice as both a therapist and administrator. Prior to becoming a therapist, Lindsey was an educator. Lindsey has a M.Sc. in couple and family therapy and completed her thesis on the intersection of depression and literacy.)
