From the initial contact with child welfare personnel/law enforcement to the closure of the case, participants’ voices, feelings, and perspective are often ignored at the expense of expediency and efficiency. Validation techniques allow system partners to honor the experience of those they serve and stay in the moment with them. It is a way of showing that the system cares and understands their feelings just the way they are, without fixing or changing them. This webinar will cover the differences between emotional, behavioral, and cognitive validation and how to use them effectively in client contact to elevate voices, disrupt harm, and promote healing.
