Technology in Practice

Introduction to Part 3: Technology in Practice

This part contains some ideas on how to use technology as a tool to help you build rapport and a connection with young people. We consider many of these technologies to be alternative mechanisms for achieving your current objectives in your work.

In completing Part 3, you will gain an understanding of:

  • How tools and technologies can enhance clinical practice through building rapport and a connection with young people;
  • How to use these tools in your work with young people.

We encourage you to consult the supplementary notes for this section which will provide you with more details about these strategies.

Note from key author, Psychologist Liesje Donkin:

"This section contains the real nuts and bolts of the educational module. It's where we begin to but the theory into practice and demonstrate how you can more effectively use technology in your work with young people.  I certainly found the creativity behind how other clinicians use technology to be particularly interesting. Be sure to check out the case studies and demonstration conversations for examples of how other clinicians are using technology in their day-to-day work."
