About THIS EVENT

Join Michael Clark (MSW), author of Motivational Interviewing with Offenders: Engagement, Rehabilitation and Reentry for a one-day practical workshop suitable for Corrections workers and any anyone who works with people who have not voluntarily connected with you or your service.

Tune-up existing skills, test-drive some new ones, and share with others who are also interested in what new efforts can help.
Practice MI-informed strategies to improve our effectiveness as individuals, teams and as a system, in working with people who offend. 

OUTLINE

Module 1:

• New research - new pathways: Examine what we know about the evidence base and where we are currently located

Module 2:
• Power up Correctional practice: Select precision tools from the kit to meet reluctance, anger and resistance

Module 3:
• Where we work - mindsets, methods, infrastructure: Manage the pressure from referrers to “make a person change” ethically with professionalism and clarity

Module 4:
• How we work - rethinking roles: Explore how new ventures, new avenues, and new applications can meet multiple needs across services
