Presenter: Rick Barinbaum, MSW
Summary: This presentation is aimed to help practitioners working with parents who present resistance and barriers to change. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented communication style with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen client motivation and commitment to a specific goal. Motivational Interviewing helps explore and overcome resistance and ambivalence within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. It is a method that was initially pioneered in substance abuse treatment and has been applied to a host of other types of work including mental health, medicine, domestic violence victim support, juvenile justice, and child welfare (among others), and it’s applicable for adults and adolescents. The training will be part didactic presentation, part discussion, and part experiential learning.
Participants will be able to:
- Explain the principles and practice techniques of Motivational Interviewing
- Use the experiential practice knowledge to implement Motivational Interviewing into their work

B-6: Strengthening Cultural Humility, Dismantling Implicit Bias
Download: B6-Slides B6-Handout
Presenter: Sayida Peprah, PsyD
Summary: Studies have identified implicit racial/ethnic/gender/religious/lifestyle bias among providers as a potential contributor to disparities in the outcome of marginalized and minority communities. Mitigating implicit bias among healthcare and social service providers has been identified as a strategy to improve client/ patient-provider communication and service/treatment decisions, contributing to improved quality of care. This interactive and self-reflective training is intended to increase cultural humility, broaden participant’s awareness of their implicit bias (subtle, unconscious assumptions about others) and equip them with tools to engage with clients in more open, respectful and empathetic ways.
Participants will be able to:
- Define implicit/unconscious bias
- Identify the impact of implicit/unconscious bias in the client/patient-provider relationship
- Identify and use strategies for dismantling and/or reducing implicit/unconscious bias
