Effective Communication to Foster Inclusion & Belongingness

Chicago, IL US
June 5, 2024
Effective communication in a health and wellness setting is essential as it enhances the quality of care, improves coordination of services and collaboration, and decreases the potential for clinical and administrative errors. Active listening, in particular, has been shown to increase empathy and perspective-taking—all valuable aspects of engaging in difficult conversations that foster growth and inclusion. Participants in this session will learn and practice active listening to improve effective communication and connection. The goal is to encourage openness, curiosity (non-judgmental communication), and a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives, ultimately promoting a more inclusive and empathetic environment.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, medical assistants, phlebotomists, nurses, physicians, wellness coaches, and support and administrative staff who provide health and wellness information and services to students at the University of Chicago.

Learning Objectives

After this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Identify barriers and challenges to engaging in active listening;
  • Articulate one way to incorporate active listening into professional practice;
  • Describe active listening and its importance in effective communication that fosters inclusion and belonging.
