Case discussions

We, as an institute, strongly believe that our role as a trainer does not end when the training session ends. Often, practitioners need help with certain clients, and to help our trained professionals on that front, we have case discussion meetings twice every month.

This platform enables our students to get in touch with us, discuss the various cases they have been handling, and clarify their doubts and queries. 

Topic – Case discussions (doubts and session flow details clarified for coaches & therapists who seek help with their ongoing cases)

A Webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop, or seminar transmitted over the web using video conferencing software. The main objective of the webinar is to instruct, demonstrate, or educate.

Since Visit MHP is a learning platform where we give opportunities to psychologists to present their knowledge on various topics with fellow practitioners, this monthly webinar is a platform for them to talk on various topics like anxiety, relationship counseling, sleep counseling, fear phobia, etc. And impact knowledge on the multiple ways of dealing with clients who approach them with these kinds of issues.
