Behavioral intervention & student affairs
BIT/CARE teams, deans of students, case managers, conduct officers, and residence life staff working through concern, accountability, referrals, and ongoing engagement.
Counseling & student well-being
Counseling center directors, clinicians, student health teams, and supervisors developing purposeful conversations, reflective practice, and coordinated support.

Explain processes and decisions clearly while respecting questions, boundaries, and voluntary choices.
See practice focus

AMIGA’s contribution is conversation practice, coaching, and organizational learning. We build around your institution’s established safety, clinical, investigative, and compliance procedures; those remain the responsibility of the appropriate campus professionals.
START WITH WHAT THE MOMENT NEEDS
Make training useful in the conditions people work in.
We start with the conversation’s purpose and the conditions around it: motivation, understanding, authority, practical barriers, and the support people can count on.
Match the approach to the purpose.
Motivational interviewing supports a collaborative conversation about behavior change, including the person’s own reasons, concerns, and readiness.
Ask–Offer–Ask brings an MI-aligned structure to exchanging information, explaining decisions, giving feedback, and checking understanding. Many important campus conversations serve these purposes.
We help staff recognize the purpose, use their authority transparently, and respond with care and clarity.
Connect the workshop to daily practice.
- Understand the work. Identify recurring moments, staff responsibilities, and the conditions shaping them.
- Practice and reflect. Use realistic campus scenarios, compare responses, and receive focused feedback.
- Support transfer. Agree on coaching, follow-up, and evidence of useful practice in your setting.
Learning goals can include clearer explanations, more reflective responses, role-appropriate next steps, and reliable handoffs.
ONE POSSIBLE CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT
“I already explained this to three different people.”
A student referred to a CARE team has missed a follow-up meeting. Staff want to re-engage them; the student feels passed between offices. A useful response depends on understanding both experiences.
What we could develop together: A practiced conversation guide, a clear handoff process, and a focused coaching routine.
What we could review: Can students describe the next step and their choices? Do staff explain their roles clearly? Are agreed follow-ups completed?
See how conversation practice and handoffs connect
Hear the student’s experience
Practice acknowledging frustration and exploring what happened, including access barriers and what the student understood the meeting was for.
Clarify the next conversation
Explain your role, any requirements, available choices, and the purpose of follow-up. Check what remains unclear before working toward a next step.
Improve the handoff
Agree on ownership, appropriate information sharing, and how the student will know whom to contact. Use supervision to review what staff are learning.
K–12 SCHOOLS & DISTRICTS
Support the adults who support learning.
For school and district leaders, educators, counselors, instructional coaches, and student-support teams, we adapt the work to students’ developmental needs and the responsibilities of schools and families.
- Student engagement & attendance
- Explore disengagement, barriers to participation, and a next step the student can help shape.
- Family conversations
- Hear concerns, explain expectations, and build a shared understanding of support and follow-up.
- Staff coaching & feedback
- Help educators examine their interpretations, practice purposeful responses, and learn from difficult moments.
- Coordinated school support
- Clarify classroom, counseling, leadership, and family contributions so agreed support reaches the student.
