Starting to use the MISC 1.1

I am finally taking the leap and trying out Lisa Hagen and Terri Moyer's MISC 1.1, which Lisa assures me is very easy to use!  I will be finding out today as I practice with it for the first time.  The MISC 1.1 codes for Change Talk and Sustain Talk, using full pass coding, only one has to code the entire session instead of a random 20 minute segment.
I am looking forward to using this, as the MITI only codes the practitioner, and the MISC 1.1 tracks the presence and absence of what is going on with the client.  This fits in well with Scott Miller's Feedback Informed Treatment, though his feedback (SRS: Session Rating Scale) gives much more specific feedback to the practitioner and is easy peasy.Registration for Advanced MITI 3.1 and MISC 1.1 Online Coding Training.

FREE INTERVENTIONS FOR FAMILIES WHOSE LOVED ONES ARE STRUGGLING WITH A SUBSTANCE

I WILL DO FREE INTERVENTIONS FOR FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOVED ONES WHO ARE AT THE LAST STOP. Formal Interventions used to be free in Illinois. Does anyone remember that? I do. I am a Licensed Couple/Family therapist and in order to stop interventionists who are charging any money, let alone ridiculous amounts of money for ripping you off, I will do this at no cost. Yes, I have experience. I have done them, and they are difficult for you, the family. Not me. Yet I care about people living instead of dying, and I am angry with counselors and therapist who are preying on misery of families, and taking what is supposed to be a Step of Alcoholics Anonymous and Charging for it. That is against the Traditions of AA. And they know it.
Now, I cannot afford transportation or anything as I am not employed right now at all yet I will do my best to assist you.
These interventions should be saved for the person who you believe you may never see again because they may die from their substance misuse. Other counseling interventions work better than Formal Intervention (which can often tear families apart rather than keeping them together) yet talking about it and getting the details will help determine that.
Don't pay a penny for an intervention. Please.
