“Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.”

Motivational Interviewing: Core Training
Motivational Interviewing has been through many stages over the past 30 years. The goal of this two-day (12 hours) training will be to introduce the most current information on MI that supports its efficacy as an evidenced based practice. Grounded in the underlying spirit of MI, the four process model introduced in 2013 will be reviewed and its utility explored.
Participants will be given the opportunity to learn the basic skill-set needed for MI, the underlying spirit and core building blocks, and how it may be utilized in a variety of settings. Real play and practice are a large part of this experience. Attendees will be encouraged to actively engage with the material and complete various exercises designed to strengthen awareness and hone skills.
