You Can Lead a Horse to Water

What you'll learn

Course overview

Ever wonder how to spark insight, motivation, and meaningful change in your clients? Then roll up your sleeves - this course is for you. Everyone's chasing the same thing: real, lasting transformation. Counselors want to see treatment goal achievement, prevention specialists want to witness low-risk behaviors, and medical providers want patients to commit to a strict diet and exercise program. And wives? They'd love a husband who takes out the trash, mows the lawn, and offers a foot massage - without being asked (or bribed). Ahh, yes... If only we could bottle true desire. As it turns out, desire isn't just something you wish for - it can indeed be cultivated. This course outlines counseling strategies that help clients develop an intrinsic desire to reach goals, motivation to live with purpose, and the skills to lead a balanced life. You'll walk away with tools to foster lasting change that comes from within. This course is applicable for practitioners of all levels, as well as prevention professionals. Course content applies to various client populations (i.e., addiction, mental health, etc.) and is relevant for services provided in a variety of settings (clinics, shelters, jails, etc.).
