Description

This FREE HRC webcast, which airs on February 25, 2010 at 12pm ET, will provide insight into the philosophy and foundation of Motivational Interviewing (MI). The presenter will discuss the benefits of incorporating MI into your organization and services.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a person-centered, empathic, guiding approach that can lead people to make significant changes in their lives. The practice of MI involves a creative combining of spirit and technique - or what has been described as "practicing kindness with skill." This web cast will explore what is meant by the spirit of MI, why it is essential, and how we can embrace and embody this spirit more fully in providing care for people experiencing homelessness.

Who should attend?

Direct service providers, outreach workers, case managers, peer support specialists, project directors, team leaders and policy makers can all benefit from this webcast.
