Student Wellness Director Caitlin Barthelmes will lead two-day trainings for faculty and staff in the evidence-based practice of Motivational Interviewing. 
 

The Student Wellness Center, with support from the Division of Student Affairs and the Dialogue Project, offers this intensive, interactive (and fun!) two-day workshop aimed at building basic proficiency in Motivational Interviewing (MI). MI is a collaborative communication style for supporting individuals through growth and change.

MI trainings are named in Dartmouth's Commitment to Care strategic plan as “effective skill-building trainings that support high-quality mentoring, advising, and teaching.” 

This evidence-based approach has broad application for working with students (and others) and can be an instrumental tool for advisors, coaches, facilitators, and educators. 

The training is free and open to the entire Dartmouth community. Lunch and snacks will be provided.

Facilitated by Caitlin Barthelmes, member of the MI Network of Trainers and LB White of the Student Wellness Center. 

 *Please attend both days. If you can't commit to the full training this time, please plan to attend this summer.

The Dialogue Project provides intentional training in the development of essential collaborative dialogue skills—fostering a community that cultivates the respectful and open exchange of ideas. Programming for students, faculty, and staff builds skills in such topics as empathetic listening, managing emotions, navigating conversations, and finding points of connection.
