Description
Have you ever had a group where silence was the norm, or you felt that half of the clients weren’t paying attention? Have you met clients that knew so much they could recite the curriculum talking points by heart, but were in treatment yet again?
This workshop highlights and addresses the challenges of engaging clients in the therapy process, such as patient disengagement, lack of skill-building, and the difficulty in meeting the needs of everyone in the room. Effective facilitation plays an enormous role in a client’s ability to acquire, retain, and recall information. Through incorporating the Spirit of Motivational Interviewing and deliberate practice, we can help clients feel seen, heard and to heal finding lasting recovery.
