How can Balint help? Exploratory Encounters Workshop 8

An experiential introduction to the work of Balint groups, including opportunities to bring case material for discussion.

Balint groups have proved an enduring and effective approach to "help patient focused professionals reflect on their work and gain a greater understanding of the relationship between the helper and those seeking help " (balintsociety.org.uk/)
The group's attention to the emotional aspects of the helping relationship aims to improve the efficacy of consultation for the patient/client and to reduce the strain on the practitioner.

Originally for general practitioners, Balint groups are now found helpful by all kinds of other professionals including lawyers, medics, nurses, psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists.

All are welcome to this event whether new to Balint, on the accreditation pathway or experienced Balint leaders

Workshop leaders: Clare Harris and Judy Malone.
Both are SIP members and Balint Society Accredited Leaders
