Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based <br /> communication style designed to help people identify their readiness, willingness and ability to <br /> make meaningful change in their lives. We will talk about techniques to draw out people in <br /> order to find out their motivations and help them become empowered to make change to meet <br /> their own goals rather than trying to externally mandate change. This introduction will involve a <br /> number of exercises to help distinguish the practice of Motivational Interviewing from other <br /> types of psychoeducation. Motivational interviewing can be added into other models to reduce <br /> attrition and increase the likelihood of participants' success. During this training we will learn <br /> specific applications of MI, have direct practice in and experience in a specific application in the <br /> spirit of MI and move into learning the basic clinical style of MI. Participants will strengthen <br /> and practice empathic counseling skills, understand and practice the directive aspects of MI, <br /> experience and practice an MI style of reducing resistance, and learn the fundamental client <br /> language cues (change talk and sustain talk)that allow continued feedback and learning in <br /> practice. <br /> Learning Obiectives: <br /> Upon Completion of this workshop,participant should be able to: <br /> • Explain the difference between persuading and using Motivational Interviewing <br /> • Describe benefits to evoking motivations rather than sharing information about risks and <br /> benefits <br /> • Examine what makes it difficult to not try and problem solve before exploring <br /> motivations <br /> • Demonstrate the ability to ask open ended questions, reflect, and affirm clients <br /> • Discuss next steps to support implementing Motivational Interviewing <br /> Target Audience: <br /> Professionals who work with homeless individuals and families <br /> Contact Hours: 13 hours <br /> Timeline: <br /> 2 days in May or June 2021 <br /> Cost: <br /> $2800.00 <br />
