Motivational Interviewing and Trauma Responsive Care
Foster Engagement and Retention
Are your SUD clients receiving useful feedback and advice, yet remain unengaged and unmotivated to take critical steps for change? The key to fostering high engagement and retention while nurturing the ideal conditions for lasting change is Motivational Interviewing (MI).
Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered, evidence-based strategy for engaging individuals and resolving ambivalence. It centers on the idea that each client is the expert of their own life and already has the answers they need. They just need a little help uncovering them.
In this training, your team will learn to…
- Use affirmation and reflections to quickly align with clients.
- Engage clients with compassion, critical listening skills, and strategies that help them move through the critical stages of change.
Equip your workforce with the skills to create impactful, engaging conversations that drive positive client outcomes.
