Training Summary:
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a conversation style used in helping professions to help clients identify their own intrinsic motivation for change. Over 300 clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of MI across a wide range of populations, target behaviors, and medical conditions. This 1 day “Introduction to Motivational Interviewing” will cover basic concepts and methods of MI in order for participants to begin their MI journey while determining how interested they are in learning more about MI. Learning activities will include demonstrations, videotape examples, and brief partner activities in order to get a “taste” of MI.
Training Objectives:
- Describe the key components of the spirit of MI
- Describe how the 4 processes of MI are used to help move clients towards the direction of their own identified change goals
- Identify and describe the technical skills of MI and how they are used in concert with the spirit in order to increase intrinsic motivation for change
