6 contact hours - NCSAPPB approved substance abuse specific (SS), evidence-based treatment (EBT) + NBCC approved provider
Foremost in a counselor’s tool box of skills is active listening. How is active listening different from passive listening? Come find out…how to use your ears and brain to listen behind a client’s words, offer affirmation and reflection so a client feels heard, how to utilize the “change talk” of Motivational Interviewing (MI), and MI’s scaling questions to motivate a client for change plus action. This workshop like the previous will be about learning then actually practicing skills so that you are ready to actively listen to your clients the next day.
WARNING: Active listening will also enhance your communication with family members leading to a deeper connection with them.
This workshop will use both dual diagnosis and SA case studies for practicing counselor skills.
OBJECTIVES:
Lunch served. We look forward to seeing you there!
