Upcoming Webinar:
Using the Art of Motivation to Create Healthier Campus Communities
To kick off the new year, we will be holding a webinar on the "Art of Motivation" which all stakeholders on campus can use to bring about positive change. As we look to the year ahead, this webinar will provide practical strategies to inform how you interact with other stakeholders on your campus or within your community organization.
Webinar Details
January 30th, 2015
10:00- 11:30am PST
Overview
“Art of Motivation†is a collaborative approach to engage stakeholders, facilitate knowledge exchange and build capacity for change. The principles of motivational interviewing have been applied within the Changing the Culture of Substance Use Project, as well as the broader Healthy Minds/Healthy Campuses Community of Practice. Learn how these strategies can be applied to shift culture on campuses to promote mental health, reduce risky substance use and strengthen connections.
