For therapists, social workers, counselors, and other health care professionals in Colorado
The Training will help you understand:
-Motivation is essential to substance use behavior change. It is multidimensional, dynamic, and fluctuating; can be enhanced; and is influenced by the counselor’s style.
-Benefits of using motivational counseling approaches include clients’ enhancing motivation to change, preparing them to enter treatment, engaging and retaining clients in treatment, increasing their participation and involvement in treatment, improving their treatment outcomes, and encouraging a rapid return to treatment if they start misusing substances again.
Yes, this training will be recorded. But you’ll get best results if you attend this LIVE and INTERACTIVE training including:
1. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of the Stages of Change (SOC) approach is a useful overarching framework that can help you tailor specific counseling strategies to the different stages.
2. Recognize the shift away from abstinence-only addiction treatment perspectives toward client=centered approaches that enhance motivation and reduce risk.
3. A certificate of completion for the training for use towards your Colorado Professional Development hours
4. In-person trainings create greater accountability for implementing something new for yourself
