Emphasis is placed on the practice of deep listening and the use of collaborative strategies to create an empowering environment that supports sustainable change. \nThrough interactive exercises and “real-play” practice\, participants will refine foundational skills such as open-ended questioning\, affirmations\, reflections\, and summarization. These techniques strengthen rapport\, encourage personal autonomy\, and build confidence in facilitating collaborative dialogue.  Because the training is highly interactive and skill-based\, full participation and attendance for the entire session is requested.  Participants will receive a certificate for three contact hours. \nRegister for this training by clicking/tapping on this link.
