A special 10 anniversary event; The Great Lakes MI Conference 2026!
A group of MINTies from Wisconsin started this conference because we wanted to learn from one another. While we gathered quarterly to discuss MI, we wanted to experience MI deeply. Live action experience of each other's particular brand of MI. It seemed obvious to invite a bunch of other people to learn more about MI. And so, a conference was born.
If you've been trained in Motivational Interviewing, have an understanding of the spirit and skills 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.
Our online practice group typically takes place on the 3rd Monday of each month from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
Unlocking Change: A Free Motivational Interviewing Class with (MINT) member Hillary Logan, LCSW, LCAS.
