Training | Old Dogs Workshops
Started in 1998, the high energy, fast-paced `Old Dogs’ sessions
feature audience participation and training that focuses on
contemporary issues found in the rehabilitation workplace. Typically
delivered in two hours, these interactive workshops can be modified or
expanded to meet specific needs. The series initially focused on
situations faced by many professionals who find themselves as part of
the aging rehabilitation workforce but have expanded to look at topics
and issues that cut across the entire rehabilitation spectrum.
Blending small and large group activities, the "Old Dogs" approach uses humor to deliver practical information and foster thought provoking discussions. In addition to enjoying this style of presentation, participants come away with information and handout materials that have direct impact.
New session on "ethics".

Takes participants through discussion and conversation about both real work and real work environment dilemmas that involve everyday ethical decisions which aren’t made easier because of the degree one may have earned. Session includes discussion of the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) 'Code of Professional Ethics'. Handout materials include specific details on how to obtain not only copies of the Code but also other important documents for use by practitioners in the fields of rehabilitation. |
