The events introduce participants to Motivational Interviewing (MI), the evidence-based treatment, and Benefits Information and Education (SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare). The events are designed primarily for individuals who have not had exposure to or experience using MI or addressing topics related to benefits. We encourage the following to attend:
