The Power of Groups Using MI
Group work provides several important steps that help break isolation.
This training will provide a brief review and practice of Motivational Interviewing spirit, structure, and basic skills followed by a discussion about the group process. It will provide several important steps that help us to understand how to break the isolation often experienced by the people we serve. We will provide information on the issues and treatment for special populations (adolescents, young adults, gender, addiction, low-income families, parents, etc.). We will also address why the therapeutic support group format is extremely effective. In addition to the role of group leader, the roles of the participants will be discussed and compared in various types of group settings. Also covered will be the importance of therapeutic contracts, goal setting, and group frequency, course, and process.
