Where: Virtual - Zoom links will be sent out 1-2 days prior to the training date. Cost: $305 (Oregon Alliance Members receive 10% off). The Center for Excellence is thrilled to bring Casey Jackson from our Summit back on board to bring you more "Fidelity-based Motivational Interviewing"! This 6‑hour interactive workshop invites practitioners to go beyond acronym-driven Motivational Interviewing (MI) and embrace a fidelity-based approach rooted in both brain science and the Motivational Interviewing Competency Assessment (MICA) tool. You’ll explore how MI isn’t just a technique—but a precise method of attuned communication, where words “ping” the brain and generate a response, and with that response you can better assess and respond to individuals for productive conversations leading to behavior change. This training is ideal for child & family services professionals seeking to elevate their MI practice, as this workshop equips you with real-world tools for both compassionate communication and measurable fidelity. Learning Objectives:
About The Trainer Casey Jackson is the Executive Director of the Institute for Individual and Organizational Change and an international expert on evidence-based communication to improve outcomes.
