Prime Solutions Level 2 Series

All sessions are live-hosted, screen-to-screen 2 hour with a PRI Trainer. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended.
 
Please note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system's requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.  Participants will receive a survey email after the session and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys is also available on the instructor site under "My Trainings." Note, participants must attend the entire session.

PRI supports low-risk driving choices. Therefore, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You'll be able to join a different Zoom session, from a stationary place, at a later date.

Description: Online Level II Training is a blended learning approach designed to broaden and deepen skills and confidence in using PRIME Solutions.  The training is open to counselors who have successfully completed PRIME Solutions Level I Training. The training focus will be a dynamic blend of brief didactics, skill practice, and participant discussion. Participants are required to complete preparatory reading in the weeks prior to training. There is a follow-up session required for completion.  Each training participant will complete an individual coaching and feedback session with a Prime Solutions Coach following the training series.  

Section Content: There are four sections to this training and each section is built around a theme.  The current themes are:
