Two-Day In-House Motivational Interviewing Training with Dr. Jonathan Fader

Who is this training designed for?

~~This interactive workshop seeks to build the skills of practitioners who have already learned the fundamentals of MI and are interested in further expanding their proficiency.  The workshop will review the traps that practitioners can fall into that result in discord and sustain talk, while further augmenting the empathic skills of reflective listening and refining the understanding of the four processes of MI.  The participants will have an opportunity to practice complex reflections and expand the ways to respond to change talk to maximize the commitment to change.  

Motivational interviewing is a form of collaborative conversation for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment to change. It is a person-centered counseling style for addressing the common problem of ambivalence about change by paying particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen an Individual's motivation for and movement toward a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person's own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.
