[humanser] Help with convention topics

[Yolanda Garcia]

Great suggestions JD. I especially love the second and third choice about 
having a private practice and what do you do when your client ask you about 
your blindness. Perhaps another topic can be How to address the over helpful 
client without damaging the therapeutic relationship.

 Another topic can be "Developing different organization systems for 
identifying client charts, psychoeducational material, workbooks, & other 
print related materials in the office necessary to function for yourselves 
or clients."

 I also think revisiting our second annual tangible tool box is worth 
incorporating in the agenda.

Woohoo, the brainstorming process gets me all fired up!

Warmly,
Yolanda, LMSW
