About the Event

Do you ever feel like Motivational Interviewing can border on manipulative? We have to watch out as helping professionals to keep our own values and desires for clients separate from theirs. In this ethics training, we will explore the intersections of ethics within the four processes of Motivational Interviewing. Join the amazing Dayna Guido and Hillary Bolter as they partner together to dive deep into the ethics of Motivational Interviewing. Dayna, the “ethics enthusiast” has over 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, trainer, and author of Creative Ways to Learn Ethics. Hillary is a 12-year member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers and has a vested interest in supporting learners in utilizing MI ethically. Participants will complete training with a thorough understanding of how to utilize Motivational Interviewing with the highest of ethics!
