Motivational Interviewing T4T for Providers

This course is a Training for Trainers and is designed specifically for people delivering this training to other staff.

MRI has been revered as a promising approach for working with families substantiated with abuse and neglect. Frequently case managers encounter parents who present as ambivalent and resistant to engaging with services. Motivating parents to make necessary changes required to increase safety and to provide an adequate standard of care for their children poses a challenging task for workers.

This training will explore how to effectively deliver Motivational Interviewing to front line staff who will be working with children and families.

Please contact Angela.H.Ryan@tn.gov or Kim.Harvey@tn.gov with any questions.
