The recognition of the impact trauma has on an individual and their behavior is at an all-time high. We see the impact of trauma in every aspect of care delivery in healthcare and behavioral healthcare and law enforcement response. This course is specifically designed to provide police officers effective communication in relationship to Trauma. Casey Jackson is an expert in motivational interviewing and specifically adapted this approach for law enforcement response. This course will bridge the concepts of Motivational Interviewing and Trauma Informed Care/Practice. We will examine how MI can be used to empower individuals by strategically engaging and strengthening their executive functioning to progress towards positive behavior change and outcomes that result in increased collaboration in crisis situations.

This is a four session series. Attendance on all four days is required.
