Taylor, LeBlanc and Nosik (2018) proposed that clinical outcomes of clients may be enhanced by improving relationships with their caregivers and Taylor and LeBlanc have since created a multi-part training series on compassionate care skills for behavior analysts. The presenters will discuss their interests in building empathic, collaborative relationships with caregivers as well as behaving compassionately with staff and ourselves to create cultures of caring in behavior analytic services. This event will be conducted as a dynamic conversation between these leaders in the field and audience members. Questions and discussion topics can be submitted in advance or during the event.
