This 2-day ONLINE workshop introduces participants to the spirit and strategies of Motivational Interviewing (MI.) Motivational Interviewing is one of the most heavily researched interventions in the fields of addiction, behavioral health, and medicine. Study after study has reliably demonstrated that implementing this practice with proficiency and consistency will improve behavioral healthcare outcomes for consumers. MI is an approach that attempts to move an individual away from a state of indecision or uncertainty and towards finding the motivation to make positive decisions and accomplish established goals. MI is a directional, consumer-centered style of interacting with the goal of eliciting behavior change by helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence. Rather than acting antagonistically or combatively, the helper engages with the consumer to explore his/her feelings, including ambivalence about changing, and help clients find their own motivations. This workshop provides participants with an overview of the research and theoretical base for the model. Participants will also practice MI strategies and skills in small groups throughout the day. A working camera and microphone are required for this event. Full and active participation during the entire training is required to receive CEUs. (12 CEUs) |
