Practice: ​WSC, Nellie Colon, has developed a method to educate the individuals she works with about their choices, community, medications, health, safety and emotional well being.  She has put together a booklet to be used by anyone who wants to be able to communicate effectively with people by utilizing pictures and words in both English and Spanish.

Who Benefits? How? ​Everyone benefits, both providers and people receiving services.

How could others apply this in practice? ​They can purchase the book form Ms. Colon or make one of their own.
