Q. How often does a particular training take place?
A1. We tend to hold Motivational Interviewing (MI), Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), and Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) on a rotating basis. We try for one each during a quarter. Training in the supervision models, as well as others, are starting to gain more popularity and may become more frequent.
Q. What training would you suggest first, if you had an order?
A. You can't go wrong by jumping right in at any point. However, we believe Motivational Interviewing is a great place to begin the journey.
Q. Were interested in adopting CRAFT, CRA, or MI in our agency. What does Life Link Training Institute offer?
A. We have worked with many agencies that have instilled one of the above treatment modalities. Each agency has different needs and we keep that in mind as we collaborate on a plan. Our general outline is to train the agency first on the preferred model. If there are supervisors present, we them like to train the supervisors on how to supervise in that model. Sometimes we just work with the supervisor and not with the staff, and we have also worked alongside the supervisor in meeting with the staff.
Q. Will it cost me more to send my staff to a public training or have in-house training?
A. Our open to the public training courses are usually around $169 per person plus $15 for CEU's per person. Depending on many factors including travel distance for each participant plus per diem, if your agency does so, it might be less expensive to have us come in person.
Q. Does Life Link Training Institute supervise by online means?
A. We certainly have, and have special means to do so. We also have special ways to transfer information that follows HIPAA security - encrypted both ways, and sitting encrypted. We have also tested some training online, which went surprisingly well.
Q. How do I get to Life Link Training Institute and what about accomodations?
A. Go here
