 The MI conference rejuvenated my passion for client centered care and belief in client’s ability to change. The conference included professionals that were able to articulate and model amazing use of MI skills that benefitted by learning and future practice. 

Lauren Hollie, social worker, Great Lakes Motivational Interviewing Conference

 This class was well worth my investment of time and money to advance my competency in Motivational Interviewing. As anxious as I felt about the recorded MI interviews with simulated clients/patients, the feedback provided truly accelerated my learning. Live classes are better, and this virtual class was convenient and effective. 

Yasyn Lee, consultation psychiatrist, Advancing Motivational Interview Skills

 The trainers Laura and Adrienne are awesome, and Ashley kept the course well organized. I really enjoyed the live Zoom sessions. They were a great opportunity to practice the material. The readings were helpful as were the worksheets.
