Introduction to Motivational Interviewing (Virtual - 2 Day)
Has virtual communication made it even more difficult to get clients to engage?
Do you sometimes sense that you are working harder than your clients on their success?
Are you looking for best practices around engagement and motivation?
Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based communication style--designed to help people identify their own readiness, willingness and ability to make meaningful change in their lives. We will talk about techniques to draw out people in order to explore their motivations, resolve ambivalence, and help them become empowered to make change to meet their own goals.
This virtual but highly interactive introduction and skill building workshop will provide involve a number of exercises to help distinguish the practice of Motivational Interviewing from other types of therapy or psychoeducation. Motivational interviewing can be added into other models to reduce attrition and increase the likelihood of participants’ success. Would this be a fit for you?
This two-day training will be held virtually on Tuesday and Friday. It includes a break between training days to prevent Zoom fatigue for participants. Click here for more information or to register now.
