Motivational interviewing 201

Motivational Interviewing 201 training focuses on practicing the skills and applying the concepts participants learned in an introductory Motivational Interviewing training. Participants will spend most of the time in these workshops deepening their understanding of the spirit of MI and will practice multiple exercises to develop reflective listening skills, affirmations, summaries, and useful open ended questions. Participants will also practice ways to focus a conversation, give information and advice, and identity and strengthen change talk. As Motivational Interviewing 201 is a practice based workshop, participants are expected to attend all breakout exercises and have their video on during training. This training is designed for those with basic knowledge of motivational interviewing and it is expected those who attend will have some MI knowledge as the instructor will provide some review of concepts but will not reteach the beginning course. It is hoped that at the end of the training, participants will have increased confidence in their ability to apply motivational interviewing in their client sessions.
