Engaging Families in Clinical Services: A Discussion on Engagement in Family Advocacy Settings

Engaging Families in Clinical Services: A Discussion on Engagement in Family Advocacy Settings

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…

  1. Identify the factors, protective and otherwise, that impact engagement in clinical services.
  2. Discuss professional and caregiver perceptions to clinical services, the role systems play in these services and their relationship to engagement.
  3. Identify at least two strategies to enhance professional and caregiver engagement in clinical services using research-based methods developed by Mary McKay, Ph.D.

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an eXtension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them.

How do I know if it is an eXtension-hosted event?

eXtension posts publicly our events to two calendars - the eXtension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top.
