Love First Certified
Interventionist Training
This interventionist training and certification program is unlike any other. Active learning dominates the experience, and you will gain new skills and increased confidence. This is not a course for beginners. It is a training and certification program for experienced clinicians and other qualified 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 interventionist training course covers every aspect of the process, including:
- structured family intervention
- executive-style intervention
- invitational intervention
- workplace intervention
- adolescent intervention
- co-occurring disorder
- 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 analysis, evaluation, problem-solving, and team-based learning. The course includes 3 case supervisions, by the end of the calendar year.
Jeff and Debra Jay have set the highest bar possible for this training. There is no fluff or filler. The training 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 included 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. The McIver Center provides a comfortable, 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.
Growing Your Practice
Jeff Jay provides an special workshop Friday afternoon on how to build and market your intervention practice. He will teach you how to grow your private practice and become a trusted partner for treatment providers. Jeff will take you step-by-step through the process of growing from a local interventionist to a regional interventionist to a national interventionist. He will share decades of experience and insight, with methods you can use right away.
