Motivational Interviewing: Mentor Training - FREE
MI is an evidence-based intervention with a proven track record of improved outcomes based on client-generated goals. For practitioners ongoing training and coaching has been shown to dramatically improve their skills.
If you find MI useful in your work, this is an opportunity to expand your own skill set while helping others do the same. MI Mentors will:
-
Learn an effective coaching model
-
Harness their "clinical" MI skills to provide ongoing peer coaching and supervision
-
Explore common pitfalls and how to coach around them
-
Practice using the toolkit provided in class to have fun and effective coaching conversations.
-
Create your own MI learning plan
In addition to the interactive training day, each mentor will participate in monthly supervision calls with the CODAC training team (through 2021) and receive individual coding and coaching sessions. These interactions will help you develop your own MI learning plan, share your experiences, address issues as they arise, and brainstorm coaching activities.
The prerequisites for attending the mentor training is completion of MI Foundations and MI Advanced and a heartfelt passion for the MI spirit.
Secondary Traumatic Stress - $50
This 3-hour training gives an overview of Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) including signs, symptoms, impact, individual and organizational responses to mitigate STS. Professionals working in social services are exposed to children and families who have experienced traumatic events and without information and tools, are at risk of developing secondary traumatic stress symptoms. Participants will learn the difference between STS, Compassion Fatigue, and Burn-out. Participants will be exposed to screening tools to assist in identifying STS. They will learn helpful approaches to mitigate the impact of STS for themselves, peers, and supervisees. A focus on the concept of compassion satisfaction is woven throughout the training and an expressive arts activity facilitated by a PeaceLove Creator is included.
