Description:

Motivational Interviewing is a well-established Evidence Based Practice for helping individuals explore ambivalence and work toward positive change. Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic approach that has been demonstrated to be effective to support a diverse clientele in addressing a wide variety of change concerns.

This training will give you a framework for understanding an individual’s motivation and resolve ambivalence by enabling people to recognize their own patterns, own their personal outcomes and understand the means by which they will achieve those goals. Clinicians and behavioral health staff utilize motivational interviewing to attend to clients and staff needs in a person-centered way.
