This 1-day King County-sponsored workshop provides behavioral health counselors an opportunity to consider the potential impact of using Motivational Interviewing (MI) methods in facilitating counseling groups. The workshop includes brief instructional presentations, demonstrations, structured learning activities, and group facilitation skill practice, all within an MI framework. Clinicians who facilitate groups using a structured, manual-based format and those who utilize more process-focused methods will benefit equally from the workshop. It should be noted, however, that this workshop does not serve as a basic introduction to MI or to group facilitation. It is assumed that participants will have a basic understanding of MI and group facilitation.
This course is designed to train front-line staff to provide basic education about PEP/PrEP to clients who might benefit from the intervention.
Group therapy is a popular setting for the treatment of alcohol and drug addiction. As a result, a counselor will often experience their first and major role as an addiction treatment provider facilitating group therapy. Often the skills needed to conduct a group session are not formally taught within the treatment environment. Rather, professionals will gain their knowledge through practice and experience only. In response, this course will provide basic group counseling skills that apply evidence-based research into real world practice. In particular, skills that address heterogeneous group populations (various stages of their recovery process, age, gender, cultural diversity, sexual orientations, substance use, dual diagnoses, socioeconomic status, education, and support systems) unique to substance abuse treatment will be provided.
This Motivational interviewing (MI) training session provides social service, medical and behavioral health professionals with evidence-based methods for creating a person-centered approach to service delivery. MI is especially useful for partnering with patients and clients to conduct education and promote healthy behavior changes.
This training will emphasize an engaging and skill-based instructional approach to appeal to learners of all types. Participants will be given many opportunities to observe, practice, receive feedback and interact with trainers and peers. The training is designed for professionals working in health care, mental health, substance use disorder treatment, and case management.
