We are hosting a series of training events for housing-services staff and supervisors who work with people with disabilities, especially severe mental illness and/or substance use disorders. The events introduce participants to Motivational Interviewing (MI), the evidence-based treatment, and Benefits Information and Education (SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare). The events are designed primarily for individuals who have not had exposure to or experience using MI or addressing topics related to benefits. We encourage the following to attend:
- Service roles
- Program managers
- Team leaders
- Supervisors
- Direct-service staff
- Service settings

- Transitional Housing
- Adult Care Facilities
- Emergency Shelters
