Fall 2026 Week 06 - Communication Skills Day 02 - Lab Day
  • Date:
  • September 2026

The focus of week six for SOWK 486 is continuing our growth and engagement with communication skills. Last week we went deeper on empathy and authenticity. We also started some focus on empathic responding. I share an article Stepien and Baernstein (2006), that provides an overview of how we can teach empathy to clients. Week six is described as a lab day, because the intention is focusing on activities to help develop skills. The activities we will be doing this week include:

  • Check in about learning so far
  • Teaching empathy to clients
  • Following skills and practice implementing them
  • Sharing following skills

Learning Objectives this week

  • Reflect on personal experiences with empathic communication
  • Develop strategies for teaching empathy to clients in diverse practice settings
  • Apply verbal following skills in a dynamic practice exercise
  • Deepen your connection with the skills associated with following skills
  • Review how substance use dependence practitioners consider the topics of individual counseling and education (client, family, and community).
