Mallori DeSalle is a licensed mental health counselor, nationally certified counselor, medication-assisted treatment specialist and an internationally certified prevention specialist. As a professional speaker and trainer she has sparked curiosity in both the young and young-at-heart. Her passion for creating a lasting impact led her to the public health field and for the past 11 years she has worked at Prevention Insights, a center within the School of Public Health at Indiana University, Bloomington. As a result, Mallori works with people all over the world and even serves on the Board of Directors for the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor. When she isn’t laughing, listening or learning, she is spending time with her husband of nearly 20 years and three children. Her credentials don’t impress her family, but occasionally her corny jokes do make them laugh.
Since 2011, Mallori DeSalle has supported training and implementation of motivational interviewing (MI) and screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT). Mallori has supported implementation as a technical support within healthcare, behavioral health and schools. Mallori has designed and implemented training curriculum for in-person and online learning (including development of a TOT curriculum for SBIRT). Mallori has served as a technical support for ATTC and has also served SAMHSA’s technical support team under CAPT. Mallori has written and taught multiple SBIRT/MI college courses and published with her colleagues at Indiana University.
