Milwaukee southside health department
Dec 2023 - nowMental health consultantIn my role as a Mental Health Consultant, I uniquely approach my relationship-based work by using a "consultative stance" approach to support staff in developing mutually insightful relationships within their community, peer professionals, and families they support. A demonstration of this is done by a genuine show of interest, empathy, respect, and understanding. Through professional development support with teams during group reflective practice, individual case consultation, and mental health training activities, reflective time shared with each individual helps staff identify their motivations, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Which, aids in his/her ability to reflect on one's actions to engage in a process of continuous self-learning. Show less
