Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a directive, client-centered approach
that enhances motivation for change, by helping individuals clarify and
resolve their ambivalence about change, and by eliciting change
language. It is based on the principles of collaboration, evocation and
antonymy; while supporting self-efficacy. This approach has shown good
outcome in clinical research with diverse client populations. It is
especially effective in working with resistant clients. This two (2) day
training is designed to provide a broad overview of the entire system of
Motivational Interviewing. However, the specific focus for this
introductory session will be on conveying the spirit and major
principles of the model. Recent research has demonstrated that retention
and proficiency of practical application of MI is significantly enhanced
by follow-up sessions, which include a review of work samples and MI
coaching.

Objectives of this training:

ÿ	To increase participants knowledge of Motivational Interviewing

ÿ	To exhibit the appropriate application of stages of change model
to the Motivational Interviewing approach 
ÿ	To demonstrate via lecture, video & group activities the spirit,
principles and skill set for the application of Motivational
Interviewing 
ÿ	To provide in-vivo practice of MI listening skills and methods
for recognizing and dealing with change talk.
