Title: Engagement in Therapy: Conversations about Clinical Practice and Client and Family Experiences

Presenters: Sarah Keenan (Life Skills Coach), Gillian King (Senior Scientist), Jan Magee (Family Leader), Eric Smart (PhD Student), and Andrea DeFinney (Therapeutic Recreation Specialist)

Join us for an interactive conversation about engagement, defined as the client and family’s affective, cognitive, and behavioural commitment or investment in the treatment process. Engagement is thought to be important for treatment outcomes, and service providers can do things to either enhance or inadvertently undermine a client’s engagement. We will share an overview of our international program of research on this topic, which includes identifying service provider strategies that enhance engagement, and developing tools to measure engagement. We are also seeking feedback about what differences thinking about engagement could make for you, as clinicians, managers, and families, and also are keen for you to help us identify what else we should be considering as we move forward with this program of research.
