Motivational Interviewing Refresher (Remote)

Placer County Systems of Care is offering a Motivational interviewing Refresher course training online with Steven Malcom Berg-Smith September 10, 2025, 8:30-1:00pm!

• Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a state-of-the-art, evidence-based communication and counseling approach for guiding clients to make and sustain positive behavior changes in brief clinical encounters.

In addition, ample time will be devoted to questions and answers.
