Virtual 2-Day Introductory Motivational Interviewing Training - Dr. Bukky Kolawole is hosting an introductory Motivational Interviewing (MI) training on Thursday, November 12th and Friday, November 13th. This training is appropriate for professionals/professionals-in-training who have had no prior or some exposure to Motivational Interviewing techniques. People whose work involves helping clients achieve behavior change, (i.e. Coaches, Psychologists, Social Workers, Psychiatrists, Physicians, Nurses, Case Workers, Outreach Workers, Dietitians, Therapists, Clergy, Personal Trainers, Probation/Parole Officers etc.) will benefit most from this intensive MI training.

In a full-day introductory workshop, participants will learn the basic concepts related to Motivational Interviewing: Evocation, compassion, partnership, acceptance.  Special attention will be paid to naming and describing the skills of Motivational Interviewing: Open ended questioning, affirming, reflective listening, and summarizing.  Participants who complete the introductory training generally receive the knowledge necessary to talk about Motivational Interviewing with others, and will usually leave with a new set of skills to begin practicing individually. 

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.
