"New" What is Motivation?

All sessions are live-hosted, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended. 

Please note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system's requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.  Participants will receive a survey email after the session, and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys are also available on the instructor site under "My Trainings." Note, participants must attend the entire session.

PRI supports low-risk driving choices. Therefore, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You'll be able to join a different Zoom session, from a stationary place, at a later date.

Description:

As Prime For Life (PFL) instructors and Prime Solutions (PS) counselors, we help people consider the possibility of change in their alcohol and drug choices and yet we rarely stop to consider the fundamental question, what is motivation? This session will focus on answering that question and then building on these insights, asks an equally important question, how do we understand our role in participants motivation?  Participants will learn about the motivational continuum, the three basic psychological drives contained within Self-Determination Theory, and how PFL and PS fit with these.  Because learning is at its best when the learner is highly engaged, the instructor will use a dynamic blend of didactic, discussion and activities to elicit participants thinking on these core issues.   

Goals: 

Participants will recognize that by focusing on a few core communication concepts real-plays they can improve the use of their skills in their work with clients.  They will engage in a deliberate self-reflective process to extend these skills to their practice situations.      

Learning Objectives: 

• Be able to identify two core ideas within an essential communication area 
• Practice two essential skills (affirmations and summaries) 
• Have an experience in the use of that skill in a real-play  
• Experience these skills from the Inside Out 
• Describe a plan for extending this skill into their practice situation.
