    Motivational Interviewing (MI): An Introductory Intensive

    Description

    Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a practical, evidenced-based communication and counseling style for activating clients’ own motivation and commitment for positive change.  Originally developed in the drug & alcohol field, more than 1900 controlled clinical trials involving MI have been published across a range of populations and clinical issues.  This 8-hour MI introductory workshop will provide participants an in-depth overview of the theory, principles, skills, and current advances in MI; and support participants in becoming familiar with the simplicity and the complexity of MI.  Participants will be guided through a series of learning experiences and activities to initiate the on-going development of MI proficiency. Learning activities will include demonstrations, video examples, story-telling, case studies, real-plays, small group exercises, participant practice with feedback, and Q & A with the co-founder of MI, Stephen Rollnick.
