Day 1 -January 13, 12:30 pm-4:30 pm

Day 2 -January 20,12:30 pm-4:30 pm

Day 3-January 27,12:30 pm-4:30 pm

Motivational Interviewing Fundamentals expands on the content provided in “How to Engage for Change” and takes a brief look at focusing on a change target after engagement has begun. Some items from “How to Engage for Change” are repeated in this session such as ambivalence and OARS, but given much more attention and opportunities to apply and practice within the training. Fundamentals is ideal for those who want more thorough explanations of concepts and opportunities to gain a much deeper understanding of Engagement and Focusing skills. It may be especially helpful for those working with individuals likely to be very reluctant to make changes and for those whose main job role is to help others make or maintain changes in their lives.

CEUs

Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services has been approved by:

The Ohio Board of Nursing will accept a continuing education activity that has been approved by a board or an agency that regulates a health care profession or related discipline in Ohio including the Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. Information regarding continuing education requirements is available on the OBN website here.

Other licensing boards may also accept these hours, however it is the attendee’s responsibility to establish this prior to attending.

In order to ethically provide CEUs, we use a platform that generates attendance time reports. We must have a total time in attendance for each participant in order to issue CEUs and the CEUs issued are based on the total amount of time accumulated between the time an attendee joins and the time the attendee logs off. We are ethically bound to report the accumulated amount of time a participant attended, therefore we cannot issue CEUs to those:

· sharing a monitor, computer, and/or login

· failing to ensure their name label includes their first and last name

· joining by phone

· missing more than 10 minutes of a training that is 60 minutes in length

CEUs will be adjusted to the nearest quarter hour to reflect the amount of time present for sessions over 60 minutes in length.
