The Community Caring Collaborative

Guiding with Purpose
2025-10-17 09:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
The CCC is excited to be bringing a new training: Guiding with Purpose: Strengthening Skills for Collaborative Dialogue, presented by Abby Frutchey, LMSW, LADC, CCS. This 3-hour virtual training, developed for FFD but open to all CCC partners, is designed to enhance participants’ ability to lead meaningful, person-centered conversations that foster connection, motivation, and growth. Emphasis is placed on the practice of deep listening and the use of collaborative strategies to create an empowering environment that supports sustainable change.
Through interactive exercises and “real-play” practice, participants will refine foundational skills such as open-ended questioning, affirmations, reflections, and summarization. These techniques strengthen rapport, encourage personal autonomy, and build confidence in facilitating collaborative dialogue. Because the training is highly interactive and skill-based, full participation and attendance for the entire session is requested. Participants will receive a certificate for three contact hours.
