Give Me Another E: Adding Engagement to Evidence-Based Practice Training
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, February 27, 2024
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Involvement and enthusiasm are crucial to establishing an EBP culture. When engagement is missing, EBP efforts often stay limited to the training room. In this workshop, trainers with extensive experience in EBP training and implementation will review seven strategies that have been used with success to increase engagement. Participants will experience simulations from training on topics such as criminogenic needs and motivational interviewing to fully experience strategies to engage staff. The Seven strategies covered in this workshop include bright spots, microbursts, overwriting old habits, everyone matters, cultural influencers, dress something new in old clothes and creating coaches. Presenters examine how they applied the seven strategies to build scenario/skill-based trainings. New strategies bring new perspectives on behavior change. Attendees will have the opportunity to improve skills through practice and observation. This workshop is recommended for Criminal Justice professionals who would like to engage or get staff engaged in EBP culture.
