Examples will be drawn from a range of practice areas including substance use, housing and homelessness, hoarding, and health promotion (i.e. healthy eating, disease management, and exercise participation)

A live online workshop mimics a similar experience to an in-person workshop, and includes the use of small group work, and paired skills training in motivational interviewing. The difference between delivering this workshop online vs. in-person is that individuals from multiple geographic regions can join conveniently from their own home. This reduces the need to pay for accommodations and other travel related expenses, and can be an economical alternative to an in-person workshop.
