The Crashing Tide: Blending Restorative Practices and Trauma Informed Care

Schools today face a myriad of mental health and academic challenges and are yet held to a high level of accountability and compliance. School based mental health practitioners are being expected to find creative resolutions for an ever changing student population who has needs beyond traditional school abilities. This session will provide a basic foundational approach for school based mental health practitioners to assist in developing a blended safe haven for children in crisis while meeting domains 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 of the NASP practice model. Attendees will get a basic understanding for restorative practices and practice easy to replicate skills to take home.

An Introduction to School-Based Motivational Interviewing

School-BasedMotivational Interviewing (SBMI) is an evidence-based client-centered conversational style useful in consultation with teachers and direct services with adolescents (Frey et al., 2013; Lee et al., 2014; Reinke et al., 2008; Strait et al., 2012). School psychologists can use SBMI to promote students’ academic performance and teachers’ use of evidence-based programs. In this workshop, attendees will learn and practice the core client-centered counseling skills (i.e., OARS) associated with SBMI. Attendees will also gain entry-level knowledge of the spirit and processes of SBMI. This workshop addresses NASP Practice Domains I (Consultation and Collaboration) and IV (Interventions and Mental Health Services).
