The BCC Mission
The mission of Behavior Change Consulting is to provide evidence-based Motivational Interviewing training to promote health behavior change, particularly as tailored for marginalized and stigmatized populations and to ensure diversity in our staff.
We do this by providing a warm, professional, and interactive environment. Our experienced trainers create a personal connection with trainees to ensure engagement and motivation for professional development.
EVIDENCE BASED IMPLEMENTATION
We are a diverse company with trainers from different ethnic, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds who are members of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). Our experience is a unique blend of academic rigor and community-based real-world practice.
BCC has conducted large-scale and smaller implementation projects across the United States and overseas, including medical settings, mental health and substance abuse agencies, universities, and public health organizations. Our training is highly flexible and adaptive to the unique needs of your organization.
BCC and its highly competent staff train our clients with quality assurance standards and evidence-based evaluation tools.
In collaboration with Dr. Sylvie Naar, Ph.D, we have extensively studied how to use MI with different populations and target behaviors, as well as how to implement MI within organizations and best teach trainees. Dr. Naar is the author of Motivational Interviewing with Adolescents and Young Adults and has a new book in press on the integration of Motivational Interviewing with other approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and skills training.
