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.
