Introductory

We have adapted our usual two-day workshop for a virtual tele-conferencing format to provide participants with an opportunity to explore creative ways of integrating these approaches into an effective therapeutic intervention -- when to use, when not to use Motivational Interviewing. Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered, evidence-based, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence.

MI: The Basics

Motivational Interviewing is a style of communicating about behavior change. Whether you're a healthcare provider who speaks to patients about quitting smoking or taking medication, or an educator who speaks to students about time management and study skills, or a social worker who speaks to clients about coping skills and substance use, this workshop is for you. Dr. Kate Watson, President and Founder of The Advocacy Academy hosts workshops tailored to the needs of many professionals including, but not limited to those who come from:

Basic Motivational Interviewing (up to 25 participants)   Dates: Part 1 6/27/22 1pm - 4:15pm EST; Part 2 6/29/22 1pm - 4:15 pm EST

Foundations of Motivational Interviewing

Over the course of 2 full days, participants will learn and have practice utilizing the basic relational concepts of Motivational Interviewing (“The Spirit of MI”) as well as the four basic skills of MI: open-ended questions, affirming, reflecting, and summarizing.

By the end of this 2-day event participants will be able to:
