I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. The following is the course content for week three.
In week three, we continue to learn about working with families. We move beyond assessment and understanding to how we can work with families and some skills for enhancing relationships. Students will read chapter 15 of Hepworth et al. (2022). Next, we will dive into family engagement and first- and second-order strategies for families.
The agenda will be as follows:
Read
A-01: Class Engagement and Attendance
Attend Class
A-02: Reading Engagement and Check-in Questions
W-03 A-02 Reading Questions is due before the class on Wednesday.
Attached to this week’s course page are three handouts. I will bring copies to class, but they include Time-outs, Fifteen Fair Fighting Rules, and Validating vs. Invaliding Statements. Last week we spent time reviewing Applying Family Systems Framework Assessment. We will continue to use to during class.
