What is Motivational Interviewing?
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a well-established and researched, client-centered communication method designed to enhance an individual’s motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. MI is trauma-informed, encourages self-reflection, and supports emotional regulation. MI is a powerful communication approach to empower parents to identify goals, connect with their values, and create realistic pathways for meaningful change.
Motivational Intervieiwing is for anyone in a role where you help people make changes. You might be someone who works with families/parenting, youth, healthcare, addictions, coaching (fitness, nutrition, life coaches), counseling, etc.
This training will provide participants with:
- An understanding of the principles and spirit of MI
- An opportunity to learn about and build MI communication skills and techniques that will support your participants/clients to make meaningful changes
- Skills for helping clients identify and set meaningful goals
- An understanding of and skills to help clients move past ambivalence - where part of them wants the change but another part of them seems to not want to change
- A process to help clients develop internal hope and confidence so clients feel motivated to change
- Ways for how to respond when a person is 'resistant'
