Description
This four-day symposium will offer a series of techniques for transforming the most problematic challenges encountered in everyday caregiving.
The spirit, skills and structure of motivational interviewing are immediately applicable to clinicians, healthcare workers, therapists, and caregivers in all kinds of clinical settings.
Here we will approach the daunting task of creating hope within hopelessness, gracefully exploring a person's spirituality and looking at trauma through a compassionate lens.
We will create a way of avoiding burnout and we will focus on creating a useful working alliance with the patient, client and/or consumer.
You will learn to both love the engagement with the people you care for and within that engagement, work with the hopes, dreams and desires of the being before you.
We will learn, practice, rest within a most beautiful beachside place, and create an incredible learning community... using meditation, music and sharing...
Invite the family and create an amazing vacation experience while you also immerse yourself in this Motivational Interviewing (MI) Symposium (14 hours of class time with optional independent study).
Meet from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm each day then take off for lunch and to play at the beach, free time, independent study and evening events. There will be a rich supply of independent study options including: articles, questionnaires, partner practice sessions and recording opportunities. Feel free to borrow one of our digital recorders to practice your MI skills.
