Change is a difficult concept to embrace for many individuals and can be especially difficult for those who struggle to see its long-term benefits or feel a lack of control over their situation. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based practice that supports individuals with addressing a current behavior or problem, challenging ambivalence towards change, and engaging in positive change. In this course, providers will gain an understanding of the four basic principles of motivational interviewing and the techniques that comprise the OARS (Open-ended Questions, Affirming, Reflective Listening, and Summarizing) Strategy, along with strategies to apply these techniques. In addition, providers will learn the five key factors that influence behavior change, along with four strategies that can be used to reduce ambivalence to change. This course will also demonstrate how Motivational Interviewing can be used with clients experiencing homelessness, as well as how it can be combined with other modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
