Love First Certified
Clinical Interventionist
Love First Certified
This interventionist training and certification program is unlike any other. Active learning dominates the experience, and you will learn new skills and gain new confidence. This is not a training for beginners. It is a training and certification program for experienced clinicians and other professionals.
Jeff and Debra Jay have developed an advanced curriculum, complete with custom workbooks designed exclusively for this training. All participants will receive clinical field materials, written by the Jays, to be used when doing actual interventions.
The 5-day course covers every aspect of addiction intervention, including:
- structured family intervention
- executive-style intervention
- invitational intervention
- workplace intervention
- adolescent intervention
- older adult intervention
- licensed professionals
- and more
You will learn how to individualize the intervention process to the needs of the family and the addicted person, including working with co-occurring disorders and special populations.
Participants engage in problem solving, analysis, evaluation, and team-based learning. The course includes case supervision of each participant’s first three interventions.
Jeff and Debra Jay have set the highest bar possible for this training. There is no fluff or filler. It is challenging day-in and day-out. You will leave this training with a new skill set you can use immediately.
Lodging, meals and snacks are provided in the tuition cost of the training. All participants will stay at the McIver Center, located on the grounds of The Retreat, in Wayzata, MN. This beautiful facility also provides a home-like setting for the training. You will not be sitting in a sterile classroom, but will instead work and learn in a natural setting, surrounded by the Wayzata Big Woods.
You will also be invited to participate in an optional workshop Friday afternoon on how to build and market your intervention practice. Jeff Jay will teach you how to grow your private practice and become a trusted partner for treatment providers.

OR
- Bachelor’s degree in relevant field + certification (CAP, LADC or similar) + 3 years clinical experience in an addiction treatment program
