Emotional support is an important and useful technique used by all team members, yet it shouldn’t be confused with counseling.  Clearly, Medicare requires that counseling is provided, but what exactly does this mean and who are the counselors?  This webinar will explore the variables inherent in our role as counselors and present useful theoretical frameworks and skills that can be used to move beyond supportive interventions.

• How to use “scope of practice” to frame and maximize care
• Highlights of useful techniques and interventions:
