SUMMARY:Social Work Meetup TUESDAY Edition on Beginnings and Endings
DESCRIPTION:Beginnings and endings of client meetings are a critical part of the relationship building process and help provide supportive closure to the end of the relationship when a case concludes. This intentionality is critical in our work but we do not often talk about it. This meetup will be an open discussion of what we say and how we introduce ourselves when meeting clients for the first time to develop mitigation\, and how we promote closure and discuss the end of our working relationship together when the case concludes. Join this special Tuesday meetup! \nStephanne Cline Thornton is a West Virginia native who has worked in and around criminal defense and mitigation for more than 20 years in Georgia\, Colorado\, and West Virginia.
