PRESENTATION:  Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, evidence-based, goal-oriented method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence with the individual. This active, skill-building workshop provides participants with a review of the spirit and micro skills of MI, and focuses on using the strategies of the model to elicit change talk in conversation. Participants will integrate the spirit, skills, and strategies in practice conversations, and are encouraged to attend the Advanced MI workshop to develop proficiency in this method. Following this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate the use of Motivational Interviewing skills in live conversation

  • Elicit change talk in practice conversations using Motivational Interviewing strategies
