90-Minute Program, CONVENTION CENTER, Room 326
Rachel Eddins, University of Houston, Houston, TX, Susan Hlavac
Beyond helping clients gather information about themselves and careers, counselors can assist clients in resolving their career "stuckness" through resolving ambivalence towards career decision-making. In this session, the Motivational Interviewing (MI) model of Miller and Rollnick will be presented as an effective intervention in resolving a client's ambivalence (getting unstuck) and enabling clients to make a decision and move towards change (career satisfaction). Common forms of ambivalence present in career counseling will be discussed with case examples. Participants will have the opportunity to practice MI tools through role-play. This program is appropriate for all counselors and the skills are relevant for anyone wishing to change.

An Introduction to the MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument)
Sunday, March 30, 11:45 am - 1:15 pm
90-Minute Program, CONVENTION CENTER, Room 306B
Michele Lee Takei, Mari Creative Resources, Raleigh, NC, Chris Brewer
The MARI is a highly effective and positive tool for mental health professionals. It is the only tool that reveals a visual representation of the client's psyche. The subject chooses symbols that they like and do not like. They are then directed to find the color that 'goes with' each chosen symbol. These symbol and color combinations are placed appropriately on the Great Round, a map of life's developmental stages. The MARI works because there is a remarkable connection between what is going on the client's life and the symbols and colors s/he chooses. It works, too, because the psyche cannot tolerate self deception. The MARI enables the client and therapist to see the changes, which further reinforces positive growth.

90-Minute Program, CONVENTION CENTER, Room 309
