Hold On For One More Day: Case Coordination for Lactation Private Practice

Annie Frisbie, MA, IBCLC
Course description
Working with families on feeding challenges takes time, but many lactation consultants are unsure how to juggle what the client needs with their own boundaries and time constraints. This session will provide an overview of the steps involved in managing the client relationship from the moment of first contact through the conclusion of the clinical relationship. Emphasis will be placed on client-centered care, compassionate communication, thorough documentation, and effective protocols creating sustainable policies that support client self-efficacy and prevent provider burnout.

Learners say 

Annie's presentations are always focused upon the practical - what we need to know to do a good job, within our scope, and with heart.

Annie provides a wealth of information in a clear, concise manner. 

Kate Seeley, RN, IBCLC

I love Annie's layers of learning from my early days getting my feet wet with the podcast, studying for the exam, and contemplating private practice. Each platform (podcast, book, business coaching, course) builds on the next with evolving examples. The content doesn't live in the past but is alive and adaptable. As I navigate and grow in private practice with each consult, the information takes on new meaning and application so that I never find myself saying "I already know this."
