6. IACP Collaborative Practice Event: What Does it Mean to be a „we‟ in the Collaborative Process
This 2-day workshop will clarify the expectations each professional brings to the table regarding: the roles we play, how we each relate to the clients, how responsibility for the client and for managing the expectations and timing of the process is shared within the Team, as well as how and when the law is introduced into the conversation.
