Motivational Interviewing Foundations

Understand foundational MI principles, how they work together, and their clinical impact. You'll learn how to create safe and collaborative learning environments for change, apply effective skills to address internal conflict that is preventing change and growth, and build an environment of open communication between you and your clients. You'll also get dialogues to help you consider ways to enhance clients' motivation for 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 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.
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 specialised 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.
