The Snohomish County Juvenille Court staff are presenting a training on motivational interviewing.
Due to the participatory nature of this training each session will be limited to 25 people. Please RSVP to Sara Bolton at sarah.bolton@snoco.org
Motivational Interviewing is a style of conversation that focuses on empathy, support, and collaboration to develop motivation to change undesirable behaviors (such as truancy). It places a strong emphasis on engaging the person, focusing on the cause of the problem, evoking 'change talk', and making a plan to address the identified causes of the problem.
School personnel and community members involved in the truancy process who want to learn about motivational interviewing are invited.
