Laurie Lockert posted:Hello, Happy to chat with you about my work on providing TIC trainings in Primary Care safety net (PRIMARY CARE serving publicly funded patient populations) settings here in Portland , Oregon. I have been doing this for about 5 years now and appreciate the challenges for clinic staff and have seen the embrace of this practice spread across our community. There is a spreading recognition of the value to both practitioners and patients in adopting this cultural attitude. Laurie Lockert, MS, LPC
Thank you very very much for this. The Primary Care provider (we call them GPs General Practitioners) with whom I've been trying to get something going is relieving someone in a close by town -- Dunedin, now home, has about 120,000 people. When she gets back, at the end of next week, I'll bring your reply to her attention, and see if she can learn some quick lessons. She's most interested in learning how best to ask, and how to respond, including how best to refer, to me -- not sure if you've seen John Read's article, but I'm attaching it to this, but it seems most suited to a hospital population.
