9.13.23 Motivational Interviewing: Advanced Practice Training
Wednesday, September 13, 2023
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based practice designed to enhance a client’s motivation for change and resolve ambivalence, thereby promoting goal attainment.  Research studies conducted over the past 30 years have shown that clinicians and programs that utilize a MI framework see gains in both treatment engagement and retention.  
This training will include a brief overview of the main tenets of MI (which most clinicians are already familiar with), an introduction to specific tools related to the principle of ‘developing discrepancy,’ and experiential learning focused on enhancing client ‘change talk.’  Participants will be asked to assess their current skill level with MI, present a current or recent case suitable to MI intervention, and work in dyads & triads to discover how to advance the therapeutic relationship and agenda.
