One of the most significant challenges for clinicians these days is effectively engaging patients and clients, especially those perceived as being challenging, like those with behavioral challenges, as well as patients and clients with substance use disorder. We will learn how to expand upon the uses of motivational interviewing (MI) and explore MI microskills like enhanced listening and “reading” techniques, exploring the power of affirmations and include an introduction to healing informed coaching to support dually diagnosed people towards healthier lifestyles.
