On this podcast, Abbigail Abraham will share with us her expertise on how she approaches a patient who is in crisis in the emergency department. She brings to light the connection of the mind, body and spirit. She has seen that you can patch up the medical issue but as a mental health advocate, she has to dig deep to the issues that caused the crisis. She shares with us her techniques on Motivational Interviewing. She educates us the importance of assisting her patients on how they can find their own strengths, assess their readiness for change, and use their personal tool box to find resiliency in life.
