We love Walk and Talk Therapy for the many benefits it has for clients, including physical activity, opportunities for present-moment awareness, connection with nature, and moving through big emotions.
This course is entirely online and self-paced, making it convenient to do at your own speed, as you need it.
It covers the basics of ethical considerations in walk and talk therapy, practical concerns such as choosing locations and planning for weather, and resources for walk and talk practice including a Walk and Talk consent form template.
You will receive one Continuing Education Credit and a certificate of completion for participation in this course.
