This webinar is hosted by the NAPFA Women's Initiative. This is a recorded webinar from April 5, 2022.

Description:

Have you ever felt like you need the skills of a therapist but were not trained as one? An essential aspect of being a financial professional is working with the humanness of our clients. Handling the human side of people can be difficult and messy and may leave you feeling like you are a therapist when you do not have the qualifications, education, or background to do so. In this webinar, Dr. Kristy Archuleta will utilize her training and experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Financial Therapist-I™ to address how to handle difficult situations and mental health crises when you are not a therapist.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand your scope of practice as a financial professional
  • Learn fundamental tools and strategies to help clients in crisis or distress
  • Understand types of collaboration models useful for a financial professional
  • Identify ways to create self-care strategies in working with clients in distress
  • Preparation and resources available to complete the pro-bono advising.
