This hands-on interactive online training is intended for those who have already had some exposure, through an introductory training to the basic principles and skills of MI, and those who ideally have had some practice in the implementation of the skills in their client conversations.

Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy: Lessons from Motivational Interviewing

Free, 1-hour virtual session

Motivational interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based, collaborative communication approach to promoting behavior change with demonstrated success in addressing vaccine hesitancy. Many healthcare professionals have some familiarity with MI, but lack sufficient training or practice to implement this approach effectively, sometimes attempting to seek collaboration, but often resorting to providing unsolicited education and corrections that shut down the conversation. 

In this course there will be a review of the underlying spirit, structure,and principles of Motivational Interviewing. This course invites and challenges students to look deeper, to do more complex reflections, and to give themselves more feedback. Participants will look at the skills that will help get clients to the ambivalence and the struggle. At the end of the course participants will Demonstrate and practice MI in action by applying MI in a live, recorded conversation.

Virtual MI Training with Dr. Jonathan Fader

Who is this training designed for?

I am offering another two day Motivational Interviewing training via zoom on April 19 and 20. 12 CEUS through the Ohio Social Work, Counselor and MFT Board. Focus is both on the spirit - who we are as helpers - and on the microskills needed to be effective. This is usually a small group, so you'll have plenty of time for questions and practice. I establish a safe place for you to try out new behaviors. Fee: $200. If the fee is prohibitive, let me know and we will work something out.

For individuals who have had prior MI training and want to hone their skills, we will jump right into the deeper use of spirit and OARS strategies to identify and evoke change talk. This is a smaller group format capped at 40 participants to allow for multiple guided practice opportunities.

Curriculum pace and flow is intentionally designed to maximize engagement and interaction in a virtual environment, therefore participants will need audio and video capabilities.
