AUDIENCE: INTRODUCTORY

Motivational Interviewing

Learn how to apply motivational interviewing techniques through practical skill-based workshops, modules, and sessions.

About these Educational Activities

These workshops, mini-courses, and sessions will introduce you to the building blocks of motivational interviewing (MI) and teach techniques that can be easily applied in practice. You'll learn about the spirit of MI and the usefulness of "change talk". You'll gain a deeper understanding of the 4 processes of MI (engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning) and the OARS communication skills (open-ended questions, affirming, reflective listening, and summarizing). National experts will guide you through hands-on practice activities to reinforce new skills and build confidence. These courses are a great way to build a new set of skills or get a refresher on what you already know about MI. Help motivate your patients to meet their treatment goals and take your practice to the next level.
