Brief Intervention Facilitation: Enhancing Skills and Increasing Efficacy

Building off of the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) session, the PTTC is introducing a three-session virtual series Unpacking the SBIRT Model in Substance Use Prevention, designed to provide additional support to increase the provider’s capacity to deliver SBIRT in practice. Each session will take a closer look at a core component of the SBIRT model to help providers build on what was already learned and feel confident that they can integrate the concepts and skills sets of SBIRT in their prevention services.
Brief Intervention Facilitation: Enhancing Skills and Increasing Efficacy is the third of the three sessions in this series.


The Brief Negotiated Interview is an evidence-based approach to conducting a person-centered conversation to incite behavior change. In this interactive training, the brief intervention focuses on motivating individuals to reduce unhealthy levels of substance use or other at-risk behavior.

The content is based on the brief intervention component of SBIRT (screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment) which utilizes basic Motivational Interviewing (MI) core communication skills. This workshop will review dynamics of person-centered interactions and offer practice activities to enhance provider competencies to effectively facilitate a brief intervention ‘conversation’ and support behavior change.
