Motivational Interviewing Certificate started first course

October 21, 2010
The first course of the Motivational Interviewing Certificate program has finally started with 19 learners in it from all over the US. It was originally 6 weeks long yet we are finding that we need and want more time with folks for skills development. Each learner has submitted a "real play" audio session which we have coded with the MITI 3.1 Coding system and we are provided telephonic feedback and coaching. We are using David Rosengren's book Building Skills for MI, and the activities are fantastic. We are also adding short video and audio vignettes to demonstrate particular skills. So far, so good.
Many thanks to Psychotherapy Services Incorporated for their support in this.

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.
