Motivational Interviewing (MI) has become a gold-standard communication style used in behavioral health, medical and judicial settings, but do people who are trained actually become proficient in MI after a standard two-day class? The answer to this question is a resounding “no”. Although participants in an introductory workshop often report feeling confident in their new MI skills, changes in practice behavior are usually modest at best (Miller & Mount, 2001) and quickly diminish after training if nothing more is done to consolidate them (Miller, et al., 2004; Schwalbe, et al., 2014). This advanced workshop is designed to offer opportunities for continued learning and practice by focusing on skill acquisition and implementation.
Topics presented in this workshop include:
-
Complex Reflections and Affirmations
-
Cultivating Change Talk
-
Softening Sustain Talk
-
Providing Information and Feedback
-
Introduction to MI Coding
-
Implementation
