Making Shift Happen:
An Introduction to
Motivational Interviewing
Presenter
Target Audience
This program is designed for healthcare
professionals, substance abuse professionals,
psychologists, and counselors. Other interested
mental health professionals are invited to attend.
Program Description
Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered,
directive and efficient evidence based counseling
approach for enhancing motivation and
strengthening commitment for behavior change.
Consistent with the Stages of Change model
developed by Prochaska and DiClemente (1986)
and, as based on the work of Miller and Rollnick
(1991), Motivational Interviewing uses an
effective complex skill set of skills that leads to
positive and productive encounters with clients.
This discussion about the change process as
well as to the principles and skills of Motivational
Interviewing will be helpful to those seeking a
greater understanding of how to best help clients
clarify and resolve feelings of ambivalence
regarding targeted behavior change. Particular
attention will be given to the therapeutic
relationship and how that relationship itself
enhances the motivation for change. Participants
will have opportunity to learn and practice
specific motivational skills through a supportive
peer feedback process.
Objectives
Upon conclusion of this program, participants
should be able to:
 describe the foundations of motivational
interviewing.
 review principles and theory of change
 identify the principles, philosophy, and
assumptions of motivational interviewing
 describe and practice specific motivational
skills and techniques
