The group counseling demonstration emphasizes advanced skills immediately useful on the job. The WDEP system uses metaphors and reframing applied to culture-centered issues that emerge in the demonstration. Attendees also will learn to infuse multicultural competencies into reality therapy. Practicality, usability, and universal applicability are three cornerstones in this enjoyable, fast-moving session. Research validating the use of reality therapy provides the fourth cornerstone in this interactive presentation. Late admission will not be permitted, due to live recording.
