• Helping Clients Prepare for Change:
Exploring Ambivalence in Abuse Prevention

    Ambivalence is a universal human experience—we have all felt torn between two directions at different points in our lives. In clinical settings, practitioners often encounter clients who express a desire for change while remaining unsure about engaging in treatment. In this webinar, Motivational Interviewing trainer and domestic violence expert Lauren Garder explores how ambivalence manifests in clients whose actions have caused harm to others and how what may appear as resistance can, in fact, present valuable opportunities for meaningful clinical exploration. Participants will gain practical examples and strategies for skillfully eliciting, exploring, and resolving ambivalence to help clients move toward meaningful conversations about change.
