MI is an evidence-based and strength-based conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and increase commitment for making a behavior change. Motivational Interviewing increases the likelihood that people will own a change behavior and become more internally motivated. Motivational Interviewing is one of the most researched communications-based interventions available with over 400 outcomes studies determining its effectiveness in a wide variety of settings. This training is designed to help you learn the spirit, foundational skills, and processes of MI. Participants will feel the "spirit" of MI through exercises that highlight personal experiences and perspective. Participants will be able to identify the processes of MI and as well as describe ways in which MI is both directive and empathic. Participants will leave this training with practical knowledge of the MI fundamentals and some initial MI skills. The ongoing bi-weekly nature of this training will allow participants the opportunity to describe places where they excelled and struggled when applying MI and will provide additional opportunities to practice. Skills developed will be nuanced and deepened. This training includes didactic presentation, case examples, and small and large group activities.
Learning Objectives:
The adaptive training format used includes learning:
- Simple definitions and Spirit of MI
- Simple Micro OARS skills (Open ended questions, Affirmations, Reflections and Summary statements),
- Mid-level engagement skills including dancing with discord (previously rolling with resistance) and empathy
- Mid-level focusing skills including asking permission before giving advice, agenda mapping, and elicit-provide-elicit
- Mid-level evocation skills including recognizing change talk, eliciting change/confidence talk, and consolidating commitment
- Mid-level planning skills including how to transition to the planning process and elicit a plan effectively
- Complex "put-it-all-together" skills.
- Complex "recognize-when-to-be-in-each-process" skills and how to transition smoothly between them
