Motivational Interviewing: The Basics
This is an online course with four meetings:
Oct. 21 & 22, 12 - 3 p.m.
Oct. 28 & 29: 12 - 2: 30 p.m.
Motivational Interviewing is a particular way of talking with people about change and growth to strengthen their own motivation and commitment.
After orientation to the underlying spirit, structure, and principles of Motivational Interviewing, practical exercises will help participants strengthen empathy skills, recognize and amplify change talk, and roll with resistance.
This class will provide peer-recovery specialists and past, current or future practitioners of MI with an opportunity to explore creative ways of integrating these approaches.
The course was designed with peer-assisted recovery in mind, however, the content for this is no different than the MI Basics that would be taught to clinical practitioners in behavioral health, substance use disorder or community health settings.
This class includes the option to have two recorded conversations evaluated utilizing the Motivational Interviewing Competency Assessment along with two individual 1:1 coaching sessions to review the codings and assist with proficiency.
This course has been approved by SOS Recovery Community Organization, as a NAADAC Approved Education Provider, for 11 CEUs. NAADAC Provider #185501. SOS Recovery Community Organization is responsible for all aspects of its program.
