The Essentials of Motivational Interviewing (3-Day Experiential Workshop)
This 3-day training course is focused on developing the foundational skills of the Motivational Interviewing (MI) approach. Motivation is a key factor in people changing difficult and intractable human problems such as alcohol and drug dependence, persistent criminal lifestyle choices, intimate partner violence, and disruptive behavior disorders in youth. MI is currently the most scientifically supported approach for motivating people with difficult-to-change problems. Practitioners will become familiar with the basic theory of MI, practice core communication skills, and learn to recognize, elicit, and reinforce key client verbalizations likely to lead to an effective plan for changing self-defeating behaviors. Through a series of structured learning activities that include role-plays, "real"-plays, video demonstrations, and small group exercises, practitioners will develop and improve core skills so that they can immediately apply MI with their clients.
Continuing Education: This training has been approved for 18 Continuing Education Credit Hours by the National Association of Social Workers, CT (NASW) and Connection Certification Board (CCB).
