Introductory 2 Day Motivational Interviewing Workshop
Workshop taught by Susan who is a member of the International Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) since 2009, and conducts trainings in her office and throughout Los Angeles.
Do you need a Motivational Interviewing Workshop?
- Are you a helping professional at a complete loss when your clients get stuck?
- Do you want to stop being the cheerleader for change and have your clients take an active role with their desired goals?
- Do you often wonder if your techniques match and evolve with your client’s needs?
- Would you like to be able to help facilitate healthy behavior change in a way that really works?
These are some of the tools this Motivational Interviewing workshop will equip you with:
- Learning the Four Processes of MI: Engagement, Focusing, Evoking and Planning
- How to pull for “change talk” versus “sustain talk” or “discord” as a key indicator of movement towards change
- Learning the “micro-skills” of MI: Open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections and summaries
- How to explore and resolve ambivalence with behavior change and pull for a client’s values
- Exercises to increase affirmations and complex reflections
- Generating conversations that have equal partnership, cultivate change talk, and soften sustain talk

This workshop is geared towards for professionals working with clients with goals of health related behavior change: physicians, nurses, health educators, care managers, dietitians, social workers, counselors, psychologists, life coaches, mediators, clergy, dentists, dental hygienists, probation/corrections officers, personal trainers, etc.
