SUMMARY:Social Worker Meetup\, The Client Meeting: How To Get Ready\, What To Ask
DESCRIPTION:This meetup will explore how we get ready for the client meeting (the first and subsequent)\, how we prepare\, what we bring\, how many meetings we schedule and the content of those meetings. This is a space for us to share what we ask\, share forms we may use\, ideas and tips on how we navigate difficult conversations\, and what we put into place to help conclude the meeting by being trauma-sensitive. \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. She is currently the Clinical Director for the West Virginia Judicial and Lawyer Assistance Program\, and owner of Transform Legal\, a consultancy focused on mitigation\, training\, and sustainability. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Master Addiction Counselor\, Stephanne focuses on proper assessment for and access to trauma and substance use disorder treatment to ensure the health and well-being of affected individuals. Stephanne is on the Trauma-Informed Care Network Speakers Bureau and uses that platform to call attention to the intersection of secondary traumatic stress and legal practice. She approaches her work with clients\, lawyers\, social workers\, and mitigation specialists through a contextualized mitigation lens.
