Stop trying to convince someone they are wrong. LEPA instead!
How to Communicate and Partner with Someone with a Serious Mental Health Issue.
When you LEAP or Listen–Empathize–Agree–Partner®, you stop trying to convince the other person that they're wrong, or simply misguided. Instead, you listen in a new way that conveys respect for the person’s point of view and a complete lack of judgment.
Based on Dr. Xavier Amador’s best-selling book “I AM NOT SICK, I Don’t Need Help”, this LEAP training is facilitated by Bob Krulish who teaches the In Our Own Voice Program through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and is certified through Dr. Amador’s LEAP Institute to teach their programs nationally.
