Motivational Interviewing with Resistant Clients: Overcoming Barriers and Working Together
June 18, 2025, 9 A.M. to Noon
Virtual Training
Featuring: Jacob Sadon, Organizational Development Manager for Oriana House, Inc.
This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of the use of motivational interviewing (MI) specifically with resistant or uncooperative clients. An overview of MI will be covered as well as a discussion about how MI is especially useful with our extra resistant client population. The spirit of MI, MI Principles, MI Skills, and avoiding common MI traps will all be reviewed in detail. This will be a fun and interactive session that will give participants the confidence to effectively use motivational interviewing with their most challenging clients.
3 COBs, CEUs, and RCHs
This will be a virtual training, and all staff must be able to participate online from 9 a.m. to noon. This is an interactive training and you must be logged onto an individual device with a strong internet connection, camera and microphone so that you can participate in the online polls and breakout sessions that are necessary to obtain the COBs, Counselor and Social Worker CEUs, or Chemical Dependency RCH continuing education hours.
