Workshop – Spark Achievement Motivation in Children & Youths
Safer Society Foundation is pleased to announce the third in our Fay Honey Knopp Institute series of professional training workshops for Vermont counselors, educators, and mentors. The title of this workshop is, Using MI Techniques to Spark Achievement Motivation in Children and Youths. The presenter, David Prescott, MSW, LICSW, Clinical Services Director of the Becket Family of Services in Maine, is the author or coauthor of numerous books and journal articles on the subject of motivational interviewing (MI), including Awakening Motivation for Difficult Changes and Enhancing Motivation in Treatment.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative style of communication designed to strengthen a person’s motivation to work towards a specific goal. The presenter will discuss:
* the four processes involved in MI: engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning, and
* the five key MI communication skills: asking open questions, affirming, reflecting, summarizing, and providing information and advice with permission.
Each of these processes and skills builds on a fundamental spirit of approaching each interaction with an attitude of partnership, acceptance, compassion, and attempts to evoke the youth’s own motivations for change.
