Danny Pettry provided a one-hour webinar on Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Recreational Therapy on Wed. 9/26/18 through his online RecTherapyCEUs webinar program.
Danny seeks feedback from participants to learn how he can improve. Below are comments from people on 1.) how webinar could have been improved and; 2.) what people enjoyed about the webinar.
Overall the comments were very positive! I’m definitely pleased.
I like to post the reviews for transparency reasons.
Part 1: How could webinar have been improved?
| · I learned a lot of information pertaining to Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I feel the webinar was very good. |
· Review of some of the Acronyms went a bit too fast to take good notes; however, if the slide guide is available, then it will be ok to fill in my notes.
|
| · no improvements needed. very organized |
| · I enjoyed the webinar as it was; no improvements needed. |
· I enjoyed this webinar. I feel as though I may have been able to take more notes if I had handouts present so that I could mark on.
|
| · I truly enjoyed this session and learned quite a bit. |
· More time to go more in detail
|
| · It was a good session |
· Nothing, it is a great introduction to DBT
|
| · Good overview of DBT, although definitely only skimmed the surface and I may look into taking the paid course about DBT for a more thorough review. I like the interactive portions a lot. Thank you! |
| · Being able to see everyone else’s responses in the question box. |
| · Nervous that it will not be accepted as a CEU, but it was great learning about DBT and Rec Therapy – provides me great ideas to use with some of my residents that I cannot seem to build rapport with or get to come to programs or who do not work well with other residents. Individuals with BPD can be quite manipulative and difficult to work with at times, always great having new ways of communicating and helping them communicate effectively versus negatively. |
| · It was great |

|
· Webinar was nice- enjoyed the objectives and recaps. It would be nice to maybe have the slides available in a PDF to have open during the webinar because sometimes the slides would move on before I had finished reading them
|
| · I cannot think of any thing |
| · It was a good basic webinar. Learned about something I knew nothing about. |
| · Very fast paced! but glad we get access to to slides after |
| · Was wonderful, maybe more time on the letters of the acronyms |
| · I would like to see how all of what we learned about DBT works cohesively. |
| · It was well done. |
· Having audio would’ve helped!
|
| · Not a thing. Great Job! |
