ATLANTA, GA — The EBP Society has officially concluded its latest multi-session Motivational Interviewing (MI) Skills Pathway training program designed to empower frontline staff, supervisors, and internal agency trainers with the practical tools needed to drive long-term client behavior change and sustainable in-house training capacity.

---

Designed to combat the common pitfalls of "one-and-done" professional development workshops - where skills fade within months - the comprehensive 3-step system focuses on real-world reinforcement, structured coaching frameworks, and complete training independence. Participating agencies from behavioral health, social services, and community care sectors gained actionable blueprints to embed evidence-based communication directly into their daily organizational workflows.

"Training isn't the problem. Sustainment is. By focusing on frontline engagement, supervisory reinforcement, and internal trainer development, we are helping organizations break the cycle of temporary fixes and build permanent, self-sustaining coaching capacity."

— EBP Hub Training Division

The rigorous training guided participants through core motivational interviewing techniques tailored for joining and engaging clients, followed by supervisory audit and feedback strategies to prevent practice drift. The program culminated in a dedicated Training-of-Trainer (TTT) session and participants left equipped to independently support current staff, and onboard incoming new staff. This enables the participating organizations to preserve high-fidelity care standards year after year.

With CE training hours provided for social workers, counselors, case managers, and substance abuse professionals, attendees praised the interactive format, breakout practice rooms, and immediately applicable real-world examples.
