Join Our Online Training in Digital Navigation & Motivational Interviewing

We are excited to introduce a new set of online training opportunities designed to support community members, staff, and service providers who help others navigate technology, healthcare, and essential services.

These self-paced trainings focus on two core skill areas: digital navigation and motivational interviewing. Together, they build practical skills for helping people access online tools, engage in virtual care, and feel supported, respected, and confident throughout the process.

Whether you are supporting youth, working directly with community members, or strengthening your own communication and engagement skills, these trainings are designed to meet you where you are.

Participants can choose the training pathway that best fits their role and interests. Certificates of completion are available for each pathway.
