Motivational Interviewing 3-day training

This 3-day training course is focused on developing the foundational skills of the Motivational Interviewing (MI) approach. Motivation is a key factor in people changing difficult and intractable human problems such as alcohol and drug dependence, persistent criminal lifestyle choices, intimate partner violence, and disruptive behavior disorders in youth. MI is currently the most scientifically supported approach for motivating people with difficult-to-change problems. Participants will become familiar with the basic theory of MI, practice client centered counseling skills, and learn to

12

recognize, elicit, and reinforce key client verbalizations likely to lead to an effective plan for changing self-defeating behaviors. In addition, participants will receive feedback on a real world work sample in order to assess their own MI competency. Through a series of structured learning activities that include role-plays, ‘real’-plays, video demonstrations, and small group exercises, participants will develop and improve core skills so that they can immediately apply Motivational Interviewing in their own work settings. Important to note: (1) Audio recorded work sample is required for day 3. Details will be provided during the training, (2) For AIC staff this training meets the requirements for an introductory course in MI and is similar to the one offered through the AIC calendar.

Vicarious Trauma - Managing the Flames without Getting Scorched

Vicarious Trauma occurs when the service provider experiences various symptoms as a result of their attempts to assist the client. The most common term used to describe vicarious trauma is “burn out”. Vicarious trauma can occur swiftly after a single event or can build up over years as the service provider continues to bare witness to the adversity that

15

their clients face. The impacts of vicarious trauma are often unconscious and in that way can be building to a crisis point without the individual being aware of the damage that is being caused.

When Pink and Blue Are Not Enough -part 1- Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Youth

**Part 1 - beginner**

NOTE: This is a beginner class which must be taken prior to taking Part 2.

Either/or. Male/female. Black/white. Much of our society, and as a result, the systems within it, live as if the world exists in binary form. The “both/and” identities inherit in transgender, gender-variant and gender-fluid youth often send the child welfare systems – especially Court Support Services and Juvenile Justice Systems - reeling. As a result, children are placed according to their genitals, not their gender. This interactive, half-day workshop will include relevant videos, exercises and activities. The workshop will help participants: Differentiate between orientation and gender; Develop a working understanding of gender variance; Identify the critical issues and obstacles that trans youth face; Brainstorm strategies for reconciling the gaps in competent services for these children within CSSD.
