Motivational Interviewing and Suicide Prevention (up to 30 participants): Date: 4/16/24 from 1pm - 4:15pm Eastern Time
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a person-centered, evidence-based, goal-oriented method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change. This active, skill-building workshop focuses on the use of MI in conversations with people who may be experiencing thoughts about suicide. Participants will be supported to consider the use of the spirit and skills of MI to differentially reinforce statements that are likely to reduce suicidal ideation, while simultaneously providing compassion, acceptance, and empathy for the struggles that they are experiencing.
The Motivational Interviewing and Suicide Prevention workshop is three hours in length, and is delivered via the Zoom platform. The session is three hours and fifteen minutes in length to allow for a break, and will run from 1:00pm to 4:15pm Eastern Time (ET). This course is eligible for 3 continuing education credits for the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) and the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB).
Participants must attend the session in its entirety and complete a course evaluation to receive a certificate of completion and continuing education credit, if applicable.
Participants should already have completed a Basic MI training that teaches the spirit and skills of the approach before registering for this training.
