Motivational Interviewing: Pts. 1 & 2 A 2-DAY EVENT

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered, evidenced-based approach with a broad range of applications. It is a form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change and assist individuals in accessing their intrinsic motivation to change behaviors that contradict their essential values and interfere with the achievement of their life goals.

Motivational Interviewing Part 1 introduces participants to the philosophical roots and essential constructs of the model. Participants will engage in skill-building exercises designed to assist them in utilizing strategies to respond to resistance in work practice settings for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness and/or substance use disorders.

Motivational Interviewing Part 2 reviews and builds upon Part 1. Participants will learn specific techniques to recognize, evoke, and strengthen change talk, as well as consolidate a person’s commitment to change.

This training is open to anyone within the ADM's Circle of Hope.
