Whether you are practicing motivational interviewing or not, establishing a strong rapport with the people you work with is key to being an effective helper. Behavioral research has consistently demonstrated that the relationship with clients is as, if not more important than the modality or intervention. This training will focus on growing the spirit of compassion, acceptance, partnership and evocation in your practice.
