ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
Successful completion of clinical services is closely associated with caregiver participation in treatment (McPherson et al, 2012). However, less than 50% of families who are scheduled to participate in therapy services attend their first appointment (Harrison et al, 2004).
This webinar will aim to focus on common factors that impact engagement for families in clinical services. Further, the research of McKay et al. related to caregiver engagement will be discussed and applied to the family advocacy setting.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will…
- Identify the factors, protective and otherwise, that impact engagement in clinical services.
- Discuss professional and caregiver perceptions to clinical services, the role systems play in these services and their relationship to engagement.
- Identify at least two strategies to enhance professional and caregiver engagement in clinical services using research-based methods developed by Mary McKay, Ph.D.
