Lately, there's an epidemic of absolutely exhausted, overworked, unwell practitioners who have only been shown one model of delivering care — the 1:1 practice model.

The main problem with this 1:1 model of care is that it's massively resource-intensive — and not just financially, but emotionally. With how much work that practitioners put into delivering 1:1 care, it is nearly impossible for them to be effectively compensated.

In this episode, Meghan and Braden are debunking the false notions around 1:1 care being the only and most effective way of working with your patients, the three simple steps you can take as a practitioner today to move away from the 1:1 model of delivering care, and the other methods that are available to you outside of 1:1 care (and why you should really consider them)!
