Gain crucial skills in 5 areas of Motivational Interviewing. Begin by understanding the foundations of MI. Then, enhance your skill set by learning a trauma-informed approach to client care. Build on these first two modules by gaining skills to apply Motivational Interviewing to diverse client problems, including clients with a history of trauma and PTSD. Lastly, learn how to work with specific client populations, explore diversity considerations, and help clients in crisis.

Motivational Interviewing Foundations

Understand foundational MI principles, how they work together, and their clinical impact. You'll learn how to prepare clients to be more receptive to treatment, assess internal conflict that is preventing change, and build an environment of open communication between you and your clients. You'll also get dialogues to help you change client ambivalence into motivation and action, all while using a strengths-based lens.

Trauma-Informed Techniques for Motivational Interviewing

Learn how to integrate the principles of MI and fundamental skills of trauma-informed care.

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 feelings are "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 — empowering them with the skills to do 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 "provide-elicit-provide" therapeutic process of communication and reflective listening, so you can honor your client's trauma narrative and support growth.

Navigating Co-Occurring Conditions, Suicidality, & Mental Health Crises

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.

Working with Mandated Clients

Understand the unique challenges of working with clients that are currently or previously incarcerated or are coming to therapy for any other reason than voluntarily. Learn the most effective responses to create a shared therapeutic agenda, support autonomy, and prevent ruptures or discord in the therapeutic relationship.
