The New England ATTC in partnership with the Health Education & Training Institute is providing targeted technical assistance in Advancing Your Group Practice Using Motivational Interviewing on 6/11/24 with nationally renowned motivational interviewing (MI) trainer Stephen Andrew. Using Motivational Interviewing in a therapeutic support group format is highly effective and provides several important steps that help break isolation. Training objectives are 1) to define the different types of groups and to understand the effectiveness of groups; 2) to identify an effective group work strategy for different group problems; 3) to learn a model of the process of change in group work and to anticipate potential pitfalls as a group leader; and 4) to understand the consumer's reactions to groups and the effects those reactions have on the group as a whole.
