Trauma-Informed Approaches to Motivational Interviewing

Join an engaging workshop led by a Member of the Motivational Interviewing International Network of Trainers (MINT) with a decade of experience teaching, researching, and evaluating evidence-based practices. This session offers practical insights into the 4th Edition of Motivational Interviewing (MI), a communication framework designed to enhance—not replace—your existing workflows and processes. As a naturally person-centered and trauma-informed approach, MI's empowerment focus provides humanistic engagement with clients. With an additional focus on fostering a growth mindset, the workshop provides interactive opportunities to explore MI's core principles, practice effective techniques, and address real-world challenges. Whether you're new to MI or building on prior knowledge, this workshop equips you with tools to connect, motivate, and support meaningful change in any setting.
