This course will focus on the continued development of MI skills and techniques. It will provide an in-depth review of the theory and skills that drive an MI conversation.  Additionally, this course will provide opportunities for clinical discussion and advanced practice and application of MI.  This training will utilize role play and video demonstrations to foster participant learning of more advanced MI skills.   

This training will help participants: 

  • Deepen your understanding of and the relationship between motivation, ambivalence, and readiness to change
  • Recognize and respond to subtle forms of change talk and discord
  • Explore combining MI with other modalities of treatment
