Special Topics Series Presents:
Motivational Interviewing as a Path to Personal Change
What is MI as a Path to Personal Change?
Do you struggle keeping New Year's Resolutions year after year? Do you know that the evidence-based practice of Motivational Interviewing (MI) can be applied to self-change?
Motivational Interviewing (MI) sounds great on paper, but sometimes helpers struggle with when and how to use it in their clinical practice. This workshop will review self-help strategies to help individuals bring MI to life in their work!
Materials have been updated to reflect new content in the recently released 4th edition of the Motivational Interviewing textbook, including the new MI spirit language. We will cover MI basic relational skills (spirit and microskills/OARS), as well as dive into MI technical skills (eliciting and reinforcing change talk).
We will review MI tools that you can use in sessions with clients, and how to incorporate MI with other techniques you employ in your work. We will leverage a combination of real play, role play, and demonstrations to take your best MI knowledge and apply it!
