ASAM Motivational Interviewing Education

This education introduces the building blocks of motivational interviewing (MI) and provides practical techniques you can apply immediately in your clinical work. You'll explore the core spirit of MI and the power of "change talk." Gain a deeper understanding of the four processes of MI—engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning—as well as key OARS communication skills: open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarizing.

Nationally recognized experts will guide you through hands-on activities designed to reinforce new skills and build your confidence. Whether you're learning MI for the first time or refreshing your existing knowledge, these offerings are an effective way to enhance your ability to motivate patients toward their treatment goals and elevate your practice.
