Motivational Interviewing Foundations

You will gain and further your education on how trauma presents in the brain, body, and mind. Then you will explore how to meet clients where they are, even if their thoughts and feelings "feel out of control", so you can build a supportive environment. Lastly, you will gain the knowledge to implement a client-driven approach that will build autonomy and collaboration — helping them access their empowerment towards skills they can use for their own trauma-processing work.
Respond to and Engage Clients for Rapid Recovery

Build upon your theoretical knowledge of MI and trauma-informed care by teaching clinical skills to respond to and engage your clients in ways that support rapid recovery.

Begin by discovering new ways to use open-ended questions, affirmation, and paths to reduce client overwhelm from trauma and empower them to make their own life decisions. Learn the "elicit provide elicit" therapeutic information exchange process of collaboration, autonomy support and reflective listening, so you can honor your client's trauma narrative, growth and flourishing.

Now that you have the toolbox to integrate trauma-informed MI skills, this module will take you one step further. You will learn the ins and outs of treating clients with more complex problems, such as co-occurring disorders, suicidality, and other mental health crises. You'll discover assessment tools, role-playing dialogues, guidelines for practice, how to repair discord in therapy, strategies to evoke commitment, and chance.

Plus you'll get highly specialized training in working with crisis clients. You will walk away understanding how the principles of MI can be used to move clients from chaos to stability. You'll learn from case studies on clients who engage in self-harm and those impacted by natural disasters.
