Note: This MI class was designed with peer assisted recovery in mind, however, the content for this is no different than the MI Basics that would be taught to clinical practitioners in behavioral health, substance use disorder or community health settings. This class will provide peer- recovery specialists and past, current or future practitioners of MI with an opportunity to explore creative ways of integrating these approaches. Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered, evidence-based, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. After orientation to the underlying spirit, structure, and principles of Motivational Interviewing, practical exercises will help participants strengthen empathy skills, recognize and elicit patient change talk, and roll with resistance. This training will focus on effective communication skills in MI for participants in the Willand Drive Emergency Warming Center. It will give you tools and effective approaches to client-centered change. MI can be effectively utilized around de-escalation as well as providing clients with autonomy, hope, dignity and the ability to make changes in a manner that is self-driven.
