Ep 27 – Telehealth & MI

Telehealth & MI For this episode we warmly welcomed Jordan Braciszewski, PHD, to the podcast. Jordan is a Research Scientist in the Center for Health Policy and Health Services Research at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, MI, USA. He is also a licensed clinical psychologist and practicing clinician at Monarch Behavioral Health in the Detroit suburbs. Jordan has been a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers for over 10 years and often provides training, coding, and coaching services throughout Metro Detroit for a variety of organizations. As a researcher, Jordan studies the role technology can play in improving access to mental and physical health services. Often, he uses concepts and strategies from Motivational Interviewing (MI) within his technology-based approaches to improve patient engagement and success. In his role at Henry Ford, Jordan also provides MI training to medical residents, students, and staff across the health system. As a practicing psychologist, Jordan also uses MI with other empirically-supported approaches, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to work alongside clients to help them achieve their mental health and life goals, as he strongly believes collaboration between therapist and client is the best way to assure long-term success. Jordan lives in the Detroit suburbs with his wife and two children; he enjoys playing ice hockey, guitar, food, and exploring anything with his kids.   0:00 – Opening/introduction 1:35 – Jordan’s introduction and rationale for telehealth 7:30 – MI and Telehealth: Both ways of meeting a client where they are 9:00 – Jordan’s early MI story 13:30 – Transitioning to telehealth 16:00 – Utilizing tech in a study to support children leaving foster care 21:45 – Overcoming barriers to adopting telehealth 26:10 – Empirical support for telehealth 33:15 – Lack of notable client age-related barriers in telehealth 37:00 – More on barriers: Clinician reimbursement and client access 41:15 – Different types of “tele” and expansion of care options 49:00 – MI skills in telehealth 59:50 – Virtual schooling during the pandemic and other things on Jordan’s mind 1:04:57 – End of recording   Links and contact information: Email: [email protected] Twitter: @jmbrockphd For suggestions, questions and to contact Glenn & Sebastian Email: [email protected] Twitter: ChangeTalking Glenn Hinds Sebastian Kaplan  For all previous episodes CLICK HERE We welcome all donations to support us [wpedon id=”6940″ align=”center”] The post Ep 27 – Telehealth & MI appeared first on Glenn Hinds Motivation & Coaching Consultants.
