Dr. McNally will also cover practical interventions for fostering EI in adolescents, along with strategies for building resilience and helping clients manage stress. Finally, she will emphasize the importance of maintaining emotional balance as clinicians, providing self-care tools to prevent burnout and support long-term effectiveness in our work.
