Foster Care Training

This workshop will focus on Macro Motivational Interviewing skills that support a deeper understanding of the client within the context of their experience of historical and current marginalization and community resiliency. The trainers will discuss how this knowledge can be used to increase client safety, broker connection to community change agents, and identify policy level change areas. Workshop participants will examine Macro MI specific applications of the Spirit of MI, the Four Tasks, and OARS. Workshop participants will explore the ways which open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries can be used to both support provider understanding of Macro MI needs and consolidate client motivation to work towards their Macro MI change goal (s).
