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.

MI Day One.: Relational Aspects.

This first day of the training covers the foundation of MI - the spirit, OARS,  and skills to be able to engage with the client or staff member.  The spirit and these skills are also essential to helping the client choose a focus for the work.  Reflective listening helps engage the client into a therapeutic relationship.  You will leave this first day of training being able to reflectively listen.  The first two of the four tasks - engaging and focusing - are covered in this day as well.
