Assertiveness in mental health care

It’s important to be assertive in mental health care but please don’t confuse that with aggression. Your needs as a clinician or care provider are not the only ones that matter.

Assertiveness matters

Therapeutic optimism

Without therapeutic optimism we might as well all pack up and go home!

Have you ever stopped to consider what that says about you and about your practice?
Stop it. Stop it now!
