Show Notes

In this episode, we feature Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Melissa Stricklin from Affinity Psychological Services in Edina, Minnesota.  Melissa comes to the show as a solution-focused therapist with extensive knowledge and expertise in working with individuals with disabilities.  They recently conducted a virtual training on Anti-ableism and how to be a better ally for clients with disabilities.  My objective for this show is to help clinicians understand the difference between Ableism vs. Anti-Ableism and gain awareness of the impact these concepts and ideas have on clients with disabilities.
