Healthy Community Collaborative, Integral Care’s supportive housing program, is excited to host two intensive motivational interviewing trainings this month. Dr. Mary Velasquez and Cathy Crouch, MSW, who have extensive professional experience and research in effective approaches for helping people experiencing homelessness, are leading the trainings.
Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based counseling technique for people who feel ambivalent, insecure, or even angry about making changes in their lives. It helps people find the motivation to make healthier choices.
Sixty staff from Integral Care, the SAFE Alliance, ECHO, Family Eldercare, Caritas, Front Steps, Salvation Army, Lifeworks, Foundation for the Homeless and the Austin Police Department are receiving this important training. |
