We work with the people who show up for others every day. Our trainings are conversational and practice-heavy, built around the situations your staff actually face, and offered in person or virtually.
The first conversation is free. Email Jesse at jesse@intrinsicchange.com and he’ll reply within two business days.

Conversations that help people find their own reasons for change, and take some of the pushing and pulling out of your day. For case managers, peer specialists, therapists, nurses, and anyone whose work includes conversations about change.
How trauma shows up in the people you serve, in your workplace, and in yourselves, and what to do with that understanding. It works especially well when a whole team goes through it together.
Led by Jesse Jonesberg, MSW, LCSW, CPS: more than 20 years in community mental health, a Certified Peer Specialist, and a long-time member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). Meet the team
Don’t see what you need? Ask. A lot of our trainings get built around what a team is actually facing. All trainings
Our trainings feel more like a conversation than a lecture. We keep the slides light and spend most of the time practicing: real plays, role plays, and small-group talk using situations your team runs into. No forced sharing, real breaks, and materials ahead of time for people who like to read first.
The trainer was very knowledgeable and did great facilitating the conversation and exercises… It was less about the slides and more about learning.
Our trainers bring lived experience and years in community mental health, shelters, recovery, and peer support into the room. Every training starts with a conversation about who your team serves, what’s getting in the way, and what you hope will change. Then we shape the training around that, and stay flexible on length and format.
