Description

Please note - this event has been changed from in-person to virtual.

We became helping professionals because we want to help people. When people come to us in crisis, it is tempting to try and solve the problems that are causing them stress. But when we jump to telling people our solutions, they can feel judged, misunderstood, or defensive. The Community Resilience Model can help people to self-regulate so they can move out of survival mode back into a space where they can thoughtfully explore. We can then use Motivational Interviewing to partner with people to identify their readiness, willingness, and ability to make meaningful change in their lives. Together we will explore blending resiliency pauses with techniques to draw out people to find out their motivations and help them become empowered to make change to meet their own goals rather than trying to persuade them to change. Motivational Interviewing can be used to help people follow through on using self-care strategies while creating and following through on plans to manifest their goals.
