Overview


This two-part refresher session covers the fundamentals of motivational interviewing (MI) and its underlying spirit. MI is an evidence-based conversational style designed to support individuals in exploring ambivalence, readiness, and motivation for change. In this training, MI’s core skills will be covered, including open-ended questions, reflective listening, summarizing, affirmations, and giving advice with permission. Participants will have the opportunity to apply learned MI skills to brief vignette scenarios.
