Community & Connection Learning Series Webinar
Validation as a Tool for Connection
Dr. Erin Engle & Dr. Colleen Cullen
Validation is a response that shows acceptance and respect for another person's feelings, ideas, actions, and experiences. It is an essential communication skill that supports strengthening interpersonal connection and building better relationships with others, even when we disagree or hold differing points of view. During this 60-min remote workshop, you will learn (1) why validation matters; (2) how it contributes to effective coping during emotionally charged situations; (3) what validation looks and sounds like in practice through concrete examples and role-plays; and (4) to identify opportunities for self-validation and validation in your personal and professional life.
All CUIMC faculty, staff, and students are invited to participate in the Community & Connection Learning Series. Sessions are aimed at cultivating empathy and community connection by providing tools to promote effective communication and enhancing our understanding of diverse perspectives.
