Workshop: PC1 - Improving Adolescent Health by Effectively Motivating Behavior Change

This pre-convention workshop will be held on Sunday, June 26th from 1:00pm to 5:00pm in Ballroom A.

Make a difference in the lives of teens!

Are you frustrated with identifying risky behaviors in your teenage clients and feel like nothing you say is helping them change those behaviors? If so, come to the pre-conference workshop entitled “Improving Adolescent Health by Effectively Motivating Behavior Change” at the NASBHC conference next week! This workshop is focused on improving health professional’s capacity to effectively motivate adolescents towards positive change around common risky behaviors (substance use, unsafe sex, mental health, nutrition/physical activity). You will learn about risk assessment and counseling workshops focused on using motivational interviewing strategies effectively in Michigan and their outstanding results; as well as be an active participant in learning some basic motivational interviewing strategies that you can take home and use when talking with teen clients (or your own teens) about their risky behaviors. This is a workshop that you don’t want to miss!
