System of Care - Motivational Interviewing

Full Description

Motivational Interviewing

Goal:

Motivational Interviewing (MI) has been shown to be an effective, evidenced-based method for working with clients.  The skills and techniques offered with MI maximize the opportunity for change even when the client is not sure that change is possible.  This workshop will introduce the spirit and core skills of MI to professionals in the field of pro-social change. It will explain the collaborative approach that helps clients reduce ambivalence and overcome the barriers that prevent making lasting changes. Finally, it will provide an opportunity to practice these skills throughout the day.
