In this episode, Kierra invites mental health professional and BTO staff member Nic DiSalvo back on to discuss the importance of utilizing basic counseling skills to build connection. We learn more about Nic's background as a counselor and how this role and education informs the work he does with youth. The pair discuss active listening, eye contact, reflecting of meaning, reflecting of feeling, and open questioning.
