Torrie Gilden, LMHC, SUDP, MHP and Taylen Gilden, LMHC are offering a two-day introductory Motivational Interviewing (MI) workshop to North Central Washington residents on March 7th and 8th from 9:00-4:00 at Confluence Technology Center in Wenatchee. This workshop is focused on building an understanding of the spirit of MI and developing core skills.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a strengths-based approach to conversations that helps draw out people’s own motivation and commitment to change in an atmosphere of compassion, acceptance, and partnership. The approach involves guiding and supporting a person through the process of sorting through mixed feelings about change.
Motivational interviewing can be applied to all forms of communication, including: therapy, teaching, customer service, medical, emergency services, etc. Individuals can use motivational interviewing skills to improve their communication, reduce resistance, and create buy-in for change.
Thriving Together NCW is offering this workshop free of charge. Lunch, beverages and snacks will be provided to attendees. Please list any dietary restrictions and accommodations in the order form, or contact Mariah Kelley at mariah@thrivingncw.org
