July 28 & 29, 2014
Description:
This 2-day intensive workshop will introduce participants to the principles, processes, and
skills associated with motivational interviewing. While participants are not expected to develop proficiency
in MI as a result of one (or two or three) workshop, participants will be guided through a sequence of
learning activities to explore and shape their own behavioral change practices to be more in line with MI.
Learning activities will include: real-life demonstrations, video-tape examples, “real-plays”, case studies,
small group exercises, with plenty of opportunities for participant practice with feedback. This workshop is
appropriate for helping professionals with no prior or minimal to moderate exposure.
Target Audience: This workshop is appropriate for helping professionals in the role of supporting
individuals to make and sustain behavior changes: social workers, physicians, nurses, health educators, care
managers, dieticians, counselors, psychologists, life coaches, clergy, probation/corrections officers, personal
trainers, etc.
