Helping clients thrive regardless of a mental health or substance use challenge is not only part of the National Council’s mission, it also aligns with the spirit of Motivational Interviewing (MI)! Blending MI with the ground-breaking research of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study, brain-based health, and key concepts of Trauma-Informed (TI) approaches, this full-day training combines evidence-based principles of TIMI to sharpen client engagement skills and enable connection and understanding to advance health and wellness. A key feature of this training is the parallel process of individual skill-building and developing organizational implementation strategies.

Learning Objectives:

Explore principles of motivation and how offering partnership, compassion, acceptance, and empowerment to others can support growth and change.
Identify through training content, interactions, activities, and examples, how trauma-informed, resilience-oriented, and equity-focused principles align with and reinforce the spirit and practices of motivational interviewing.
Recognize and practice responding to ambivalence and change language using real world examples.
Create a takeaway of strategies for individual skill-building and organizational implementation.
