(Part 2 of 2) In this continuation from the Introduction to Motivational interviewing, participants will learn about the guiding spirit of MI and the four tasks and will have the opportunity to practice core skills and appropriately respond to challenges in an experiential skill-development training. This training is part 2 of 2 of the MI training required for Ohio START caseworkers, family peer mentors and supervisors. This training is intended for those that have attended Motivational Interviewing: An Introduction Training (part 1 of 2), OR a previous Introduction to Motivational Interviewing training. This session will also serve as a refresher for those that have previously attended an Introduction to MI training.

By registering for this training you are committing to attend both sessions:
7/8/2025 from 1pm-4pm &
7/9/2025 from 1pm-4pm
This is the first in a series of START foundational trainings. Through participating in this training, staff will gain foundational knowledge on the history and evolution of the National START Model. Additionally, the Essential Components and Fidelity Standards of the National START Model will be introduced. This training is designed and required for local child welfare leadership (e.g., director, administrator, START supervisor, etc.). Leadership from Behavioral Health providers that have already been identified as a local START partner should also attend. This is a required training for new cohorts and local leadership who have not previously attended.

This introductory course provides staff new to the Ohio START program with the basics necessary to begin working with families. It includes a brief review of key aspects of START including eligibility, timelines, roles and responsibilities, and engaging clients and family serving agencies. Staff will also need to complete the full day Foundations 4 training when next available. This is not intended for anyone that has already attended Foundations 4.

SUPERVISORS ONLY: This 1-hour Professional Learning Community (PLC) for supervisors will meet bi-monthly. Based on input from the November 2024 Consortium meetings and the subsequent survey, these networking sessions will include a specific topic but will also allow time to discuss current challenges, suggestions and offer any pertinent updates. The topics are based on your input however, they may be subject to change depending on other issues that arise throughout the year. This is open to both PCSA and BH supervisors participating in Ohio START.
