The Center for Health Promotions and the Office of Human Resources are excited to be partnering to offer Motivational Interviewing training for Ithaca College employees. Motivational Interviewing is especially beneficial for individuals that work with students as they navigate challenges such as building connections, resolving relationship concerns, academic or career path concerns, time management, building healthy routines, and more. This training will equip participants to help the student problem-solve and find solutions that are achievable for them.
