Seattle, WA USA--Introductory

Motivational Interviewing: Beginning Techniques to Advanced Maneuvers

This introductory training is one of the all-day pre-conference sessions of the Washington School Counselor Association Conference. The training is intended primarily for educators. Below is a description of the event from the published promotional materials.

How often does it seem like you are working harder than your students to bring about positive change in their lives?  How often do you work with students to create a detailed plan only to find that they didn’t follow through?  Before students can increase grades, build healthy relationships, or pursue career plans, they have to be intrinsically motivated.  Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based counseling style that taps into students’ own motivation to make positive changes in their lives.  Learn practical techniques to help students change their future trajectory for the better.  In short, learn to motivate!

The presenter will spend some time on MI basics and will continue with more advanced techniques and activities.  After experiencing role-plays, real-plays, coaching, observations, videos, and other forms of experiential learning, attendees will be prepared to immediately use MI to motivate their students.
