Presentation Description

As professionals working in unprecedented times, effective engagement has never been more important in clinical practice. In the service of strengthening effective engagement, this workshop will integrate two approaches that strengthen motivations for change and reduce secondary traumatic stress.  First, we will review the clinical approach of Motivational Interviewing (MI). MI is an evidenced-based collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person’s own motivation and commitment to change. We will review the “spirit” of MI, important engagement strategies and supporting “change talk.” The second approach, Components for Enhancing Clinician Experience and Reducing Trauma (CE-CERT), is designed support wellbeing skills & practices “in the work.”  Typically clinicians are trained on how to support wellness & self-care by disengaging from the work. In this overview, we will identify practical strategies in engagement too reduce stress, burnout and/or compassion fatigue.

Guest Speaker: Dr. Jon Ebert

Dr. Jon Ebert is a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive clinical and consultation expertise in the assessment and delivery of services to children and families who have experienced traumatic stress and mental health challenges. Dr. Ebert is Clinical Director of the Vanderbilt Center of Excellence for Children in State Custody (COE) which is part of a statewide network funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee to improve the public health by enhancing the quality of services provided to children in or at-risk of entering the Tennessee child welfare or juvenile justice systems.

In his work with the Vanderbilt COE, Dr. Ebert provides ongoing leadership and training for the Tennessee statewide best practice initiative in the dissemination of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competence (ARC), and Teen Outreach Program (TOP). He has published on the dissemination of evidence based practices and presented nationally on systems-level approaches to managing children and youth with sexual behavior problems, family reunification, trauma-informed treatment cultures, and the role of leadership in the adoption of evidence-based practices. Dr. Ebert co-teaches the Family Therapy Seminar for the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic (CAPOC) as part of Vanderbilt’s APA-approved, Pre-doctoral Psychology Internship Consortium.

Learning Objectives: As a result of attending, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the “spirit” and collaborative engagement concepts in Motivational Interviewing (MI).
  • Implement Components for Enhancing Clinician Experience and Reducing Trauma (CE-CERT) as protective engagement practices in clinical practice.
  • Discuss ways to integrate these MI and CE-CERT approaches to maximize engagement with children, family, and adults.
