“I find that I deal with a lot of patients who also have mental health concerns. There are many times in which I reflect and use affirmations to validate their feelings. Through brief therapeutic interventions, patient’s feel heard and understood. Time and time again, the patient develops a sense of trust and openness that you wouldn’t otherwise achieve without encouragement of on-going change talk and understanding. This training was invaluable to my day-to-day work, and I feel better equipped in delivering a foundation for change talk, affirmations and validation to those patients in which I serve! Thank you!” -MI Level III Participant

“I thought I would struggle with the breakout groups, but those ended up being my favorite part of the training! I met some wonderful people and realized we are all on this journey together. I felt it was very human and real.” -MI Level III Participant
