Motivational Interviewing* – Advanced

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a state-of-the-art, evidence-based communication and counseling approach for guiding clients to make and sustain positive behavior changes in brief clinical encounters. While MI is recognized as a practical and common sense approach, becoming proficient in MI is an on-going learning process that requires significant training, practice, and feedback/supervision. This intensive 2-day “continuing the journey” workshop is designed for individuals who have completed an introductory training in MI. Participants will be guided through a sequence of learning activities to move from basic competence to advanced clinical skillfulness. Learning activities include real-life demonstrations, videotape examples, “real-plays, “small group exercises, and significant participant practice with feedback.

These trainings are free and open to the public. BBS continuing education units will be offered. Please see the attached flyers for more details. 13 CEUs are available for this training. Must attend full session to receive credits(No partial credits given).
