Introductory

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a conversation style that supports change in a manner congruent with a person’s own values and concerns using collaborative, goal-orientated methods of communication. This introduction covers the spirit, core skills and processes of MI, as well as the most current research of MI use and effective practice. Professionals from a wide array of helping roles such as education, dental care, addictions, healthcare, social services and counseling can benefit from learning MI.

At the Intersection of MI and DBT: The Spirit of Acceptance

Join us as we explore the benefits of cultivating an acceptance mindset. Acceptance is promoted in not only MI but also in other mindfulness-based therapies and 12-Step programs. We will explore the similarities and differences between the MI and DBT use of acceptance. We will also practice ways to access acceptance and discuss ways acceptance can be used to promote wellness during the COVID and racism pandemics.
