✨ From Talk to Transformation: Success! ✨
We just wrapped up an incredible two-day journey into the heart of Motivational Interviewing (MI)! 🗣️➡️🌱
On January 22-23, we partnered with the Central California Training Academy at California State University, Fresno for an intensive Zoom workshop: Introductory MI Skills for Meaningful Change.
It was inspiring to see so many dedicated professionals sharpening their tools to better support their communities. We dove deep into the "how-to" of fostering intrinsic motivation and navigating the complex journey of behavior change.
Highlights from the session:
Mastering the spirit of MI: Partnership, Acceptance, Compassion, and Empowerment.
Building a robust toolkit of OARS skills (Open-ended questions, Affirmations, Reflections, and Summaries).
Learning how to roll with resistance and guide clients toward their own "Why."
A huge thank you to the Central California Training Academy for this special contract and to all the participants for their energy, vulnerability, and commitment to excellence!
