Using Motivational Interviewing by Phone, Text or Email
What is Motivational Interviewing by Phone?
Can Motivational Interviewing (MI) be translated to phone, text or email communication? What changes in MI do we need to consider as providers? For example, what adaptations need to occur with reflections and complex affirmations? Join us for a conversation with Swedish-born counselor and Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) member Li-Lo Sahlberg and her experiences of having MI as a base in conversations by phone and in text. Li-Lo will be sharing research findings from MINT member Magnus Johnaanson as well as her own experience about adaptations from working on a Swedish alcohol help forum aimed at supporting people who are considering changing their alcohol habits, and relatives who need support. Through this Swedish program, Alkoholhjälpen, people can talk anonymously with professional counselors and use the support we offer on the website. They respond to over 20,000 posts per year.
Who Can Attend?
Any helping professional interested in learning more about the applications and adaptations of MI by phone! Even though the session may be best suited for those who are already familiar with the basics of Motivational Interviewing, all are welcome to attend and participate.
After participating in this activity, learners will be able to:
- List three differences between in person and phone or electronic delivery of MI skills
- Apply three MI skills to phone, text or email communication.
