Effective Communication
is Critical

 

Healthcare Consumers, Parents, Families, Caregivers

Do you become anxious in the presence of your doctor and struggle to remember the questions you had intended to ask?

Do you care for an elderly parent or a child with multiple disabilities who receives his or her healthcare from a variety of medical professionals who are not communicating with one another?

Can you make sense of the medical information given to you about yourself or a loved one?

Chautauqua Institution is a historic, highly sought venue for lecturers. Jacque's well organized, detailed and empathetic presentation gave hundreds of people tools to develop and/or improve their own communication with their healthcare providers.

Do you feel that you are working effectively with your child's educational team on his/her behalf if your child has complex medical needs?

Physicians, Healthcare Professionals, Teachers

Are you certain that your explanations are clear to your listener?

Are you frustrated when your students' parents fail to communicate important medical information that can influence the safe delivery of educational programming?

Do you feel concerned when other professionals who have worked with a student, patient or family fail to communicate critical information to you?

If you can identify with any of these situations, you are not alone. The critical element of effective communication is necessary to establish satisfying, productive partnerships between patients and physicians; families and healthcare professionals; or parents and teachers.

Through my professional and life experiences, I can help you enhance your communication skills, teach the value of collaboration through effective communication and support you as you engage more responsibly in your partnerships at home, school, at work or with healthcare professionals.
