If you have questions, please email Tiffany Conroy. |
Description
In a quick-paced and dynamic training, participants learn Motivational Interviewing (MI) skills in the context of trauma-informed care, Harm Reduction, and the Stages of Change. Many who engage in services face critical changes to reach the employment and social outcomes we hope for them. Recent research on the brain and trauma gives those working with clients a new paradigm to improve outcomes for clients experiencing homelessness, substance abuse, mental health issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, and poverty. This training presents the trauma-informed paradigm in a practical context, giving participants a theoretical basis and tools to apply immediately to their work with patients.
Learning Objectives
- State the relationship between trauma and health risk behaviors.
- Implement the spirit of motivational interviewing into their relationship with patients.
- Utilize Trauma-Informed Motivational Interviewing to process change talk.
