What is MI & Victim Advocacy?

In the aftermath of violence and trauma, victims are faced with an exhaustive list of decisions to make and changes to manage. Join Dr. Kate Watson to learn unique ways to apply motivational interviewing skills in your work with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, human trafficking, and other forms of power-based violence.

Who Can Attend?

If you've been trained in Motivational Interviewing, and have an understanding of the spirit, skills and strategies of the approach, and would like an opportunity to improve your MI use through practice and feedback, you are welcome to attend our MI Skill Development Groups. Each month, we gather to consider some aspect of MI through the lens of our shared expertise, and then practice with one another, doing our best to provide each other with helpful feedback.

For individuals who have had prior MI training and want to hone their skills, we will jump right into the deeper use of spirit and OARS strategies to identify and evoke change talk. This is a smaller group format capped at 40 participants to allow for multiple guided practice opportunities.

Curriculum pace and flow is intentionally designed to maximize engagement and interaction in a virtual environment, therefore participants will need audio and video capabilities.
