Breaking Through Barriers to Positively Impact Change
About the Training
This workshop series is designed for anyone interested in not only learning Motivational Interviewing skills but also for those who want to deepen their Motivational Interviewing skills. The struggle is real when working with teens and young adults to decrease their risks. Effective interventions require a specialized approach. This highly rated, interactive workshop equips you to use motivational interviewing strategies to improve your ability to identify risks, communicate effectively with families, and motivate them toward healthy decisions. Mandatory online education modules must be completed prior to attending the in-person workshop unless you have already taken them as a participant in a previous training with Jennifer Salerno.
Follow-Up Webinars
We are excited to invite you to our Virtual Learning Collaborative! As a previous participant of our live adolescent-focused motivational interviewing (MI) training, you understand the importance of ongoing practice in maintaining your MI skills. Our webinar series provides you with the opportunity for continuing education and skill-building to improve your communication around risk reduction.
Please Note: You must have attended the in-person training OR have had previous training with Jennifer Salerno or motivational interviewing training as a part of an educational experience (for example, seeking your nursing or social work degree) in order to participate in the webinars.
