Description

Motivational Interviewing (MI), offers a practical, evidence-based approach for supporting clients in making and sustaining healthy behavior changes. Originally developed in the substance use field, over 1700 clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of MI across a range of populations, behaviors, and medical conditions, and cultures. In particular, MI has been shown to be especially effective in brief clinical encounters and for individuals ambivalent about change. Training participants will be guided through a sequence of learning activities to explore and shape their communication approach when working with clients. Learning activities will include: demonstrations, video examples, “real-plays,” case studies, small group exercises, and significant participant practice with feedback.
