Intermediate

The Intermediate Training is aimed at professionals who have already learned the concepts and are interested in delving deeper into MI concepts and processes, providing participants with an understanding of EM methodology as well as practical experience.

The main focus at this level of training is learning MI through practice.

Topics:

MI Clinical Skills

Types of Ambivalence

Conversation in Motivational Interviewing

Preparatory Change Talk DARN (Desire, Skills, Reason and Need)

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.
