Changing the Game:

A Novel and Interactive Approach to Developing Interview Skills

Look how Virginia is bringing new providers up to speed.

VA-YSBIRT introduces its new Interactive eLearning approach to training providers to perform the brief negotiated interview (BNI).

Previous online trainings in SBIRT amounted to watching narrated presentations or videos. 

But… it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Drop into a brief intervention and make choices similar to ones you face with patients. Your decisions determine how the story unfolds. You’ll get hints, coaching, and, depending on your choices, different endings.  When you finish, you’ll have improved your competence and confidence. 

Choose your questions for Gina, and see how your results change.
