Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling approach that engages clients’ intrinsic motivation to change toward healthier behavior. MI counselors use a set of specific, teachable techniques within a non-judgmental, non-confrontational atmosphere to increase clients’ awareness of the problems and of the consequences and risks associated with the unhealthy behavior in question. MI has shown robust evidence of effectiveness in improving a range of health behavior problems, including substance use disorders, treatment non-adherence and smoking. MI can be delivered flexibly, in short- or long-term intervention formats.
This is a 2-day virtual training via Zoom consisting of classroom teaching followed by practicing learned skills through partnered role plays.
