RYEC Training: Motivational Interviewing

The St. Louis Regional Youth Employment Coalition (RYEC) invites you to join us for a training on Motivational Interviewing. This training is intended to enhance your capacity and knowledge in working with and for young people. Lunch will be provided as part of this training. 

Motivational interviewing is:

● A widely adopted strategy that uses collaborative counseling approaches designed to help clients understand and use their internal motivation to create positive change.

● Motivational interviewing is a person-centered communication method that can help program participants access their internal motivation for change. MI allows participants to identify their own reasons for undertaking change and build their own personal development plan accordingly.

Please join us to learn about developing and supporting intrinsic motivators. Studies show that motivated clients — those who are actively engaged in determining and pursuing personal goals — often achieve higher self-sufficiency outcomes such as stable housing and employment.

This training is part of the professional development opportunities provided by RYEC. RYEC envisions greater racial equity in our region's workforce. To achieve this mission, the coalition aims to increase youth employability and to grow diverse talent pipelines.
