Trainer for role play in the framework of the HBO education for welfare work at Rotterdam
In deze trainingen geef ik de gelegenheid aan de studenten om dat gene uit te spelen wat zich in een contact met clienten daadwerkelijk afspeeld, zodat zij inzicht krijgen in onbewuste processen die het contact met clienten beinvloeden. Met als doel dat bewust te worden en daar beslissingen over te kunnen nemen.
