Spirit of Motivational Interviewing : Connecting with Our Humanity to Support Growth and Change

This workshop is for General Behavioral Health Professionals. How we show up in our work spaces and the attitudes we hold profoundly impacts the work we do. It is impossible to separate our professional skill sets from our beliefs about ourselves and others. In this session, we will learn the “spirit” of motivational interviewing and how this spirit shapes our therapeutic approach and creates context for our interactions with clients. We will learn how connecting to the “spirit” allows us to create psychological safety for help seekers and how essential it is for promoting trauma-informed care.

• All sessions are open to anyone (mental health or school mental health professionals including counselors, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, peer supporters, alcohol and drug counselors, mental health program administrators, MDs, nurses, and other allied health professionals) *Please note that the training will be an advanced level of Motivational Interviewing, and participants should have a basic familiarity or experience with this modality.  
• 4 CEUs are available through full participation (two CEHs are available for each session, with a total of four CEHs for both)
