By informing clients that trainees will be involved in the evaluation process, they are more open-minded and receptive to the benefits of having a team of experts working on their assessment.
Brainstorm 2-3 ways you can alert your clients to the role of trainees in your practice and support trainees in stepping confidently into these conversations with clients.
