Be careful not to become so devoted to improving your life that you no longer pause to be in awe of it.

Our most frustrating patterns are attempts to soothe, protect, or fill the places within us most starved for love.

Compassion, empathy is where change begins.

Love in action, Stephen❤️

Join us September 9–11 for MITI Coding & Coaching, a live virtual training with MINT Certified MI Trainer Ali Hall, JD.

If you’re a MI trainer, coach, supervisor, or practitioner who provides feedback to others, learning the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) coding system can help you take your MI practice to the next level.

The MITI gives us a structured way to answer an important question: How effectively is someone using Motivational Interviewing? More importantly, it can help turn what we observe into specific, meaningful feedback that supports continued growth.

MITI Coding & Coaching
September 9, 10 & 11
11:00 AM–6:00 PM Eastern
Live online via Zoom
$250 per person

Over this three-day interactive training, you'll learn to use the MITI 4.2.1 behavioral coding system and explore how MITI coding can inform effective MI coaching and feedback.

We hope you'll join us!
