Title: Continuing the Conversation, "Reflections on Ways of Meaning"
Date: May 9th, 2024
Time: 11am - 12pm CST/12pm - 1pm EST
Description:
Featuring a second part to continue our conversation around Reflective Practice through our AIMHiTN 2024 Ways of Being: Connecting the Dots Conference presentation by Joaniko Kohchi, MPhil, LCSW, IECMH®.
We all deepen our understanding and the practice of reflection by integrating and aligning what we learn about ourselves, our work, and our communities. Together today, we will pause to wonder what makes our reflective practice unique to each one of us, to our communities, and to our state. We gather strength from robust connections: some are evident, and some are unnoticed because they are the familiar fabric of a culture. What can we learn about how we make meaning of our work as we become more reflective about our similarities and differences?
Learning Objectives
Participants will:
● Review foundational tenets of Reflective Practice.
● Consider our social and professional contexts.
● Engage via a web-based interactive platform to share those contexts.
● Practice reflecting on professional communication within and between contexts.
