I am interested in the course ” Motivational Training Fundamentals ” and would like to find out whether I am eligible to enroll. I am a direct services staff at Gilead Community Services, working as a Residential Support Worker in a clinical treatment program (since August of 2018) and find that motivational interviewing is the most valuable approach I have yet encountered throughout 45 years of training!
