Advanced Motivational Interviewing (MI): Beyond Basic MI
While most direct care workers have been exposed to MI, lingering issues with participants continue; workers get frustrated and stuck on difficult issues: having the same conversation over and over again, facing active and passive resistance, etc. This workshop will provide a very brief overview of basic MI concepts of the MI Spirit, MI Process, and OARS; then will provide opportunity for attendants to define their own difficult participant scenario and address it with more advanced MI approaches. Topics will likely include resistance, discord, along with preparatory and mobilizing change talk.
After completing this workshop, participants will be able to:
-
Identify at least one MI approach to soften sustain talk and/or resistance/discord for a defined participant scenario.
-
Describe at least three do’s and don’ts in work with a defined participant scenario.
-
Apply and practice MI approaches to a defined participant statement.
-
Feel more confident in working with a defined participant scenario.
