Intermediate

Dear Friends and Colleagues, 

Good day. I am offering a two day Motivational Interviewing training on March 26 and 27 via Zoom. The first day covers the relational aspects of MI with a particular focus on the spirit, which is integral to the practice of MI. The spirit helps us adopt a powerful and engaging heart set and mind set. On the second day, the focus will be more on the technical aspects of MI - learning skills to cultivate, elicit and respond to change talk. The combination of these two days helps you be both well intended and effective in helping people.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to: Identify seven types of change talk; Utilize strategies to resolve client discord; Progress through an MI-style of conversation using four tasks: engaging, focusing, evoking, planning; Identify when to counsel with neutrality (equipoise); and demonstrate MI skills through practice dyads.

For individuals who have had prior MI training and want to hone their skills, we will jump right into the deeper use of spirit and OARS strategies to identify and evoke change talk. This is a smaller group format capped at 40 participants to allow for multiple guided practice opportunities.

Curriculum pace and flow is intentionally designed to maximize engagement and interaction in a virtual environment, therefore participants will need audio and video capabilities.

If you've been trained in Motivational Interviewing, and have an understanding of the spirit, skills and strategies of the approach, and would like an opportunity to improve your MI use through practice and feedback, you are welcome to attend our MI Skill Development Groups. Each month, we gather to consider some aspect of MI through the lens of our shared expertise, and then practice with one another, doing our best to provide each other with helpful feedback.
