Good afternoon,
ICHCA's next cohort for our Motivational Interviewing Series is the supervisor cohort which begins on July 6th! See below for more information and registration.
July – September
Audience: Executive Level Staff, Managers, Supervisors, Leadership, etc.
Introductory level training
Managers working at an organizational level often experience ambivalence from their constituents, employees, and other stakeholders. It can be difficult to help organizations (and people within those organizations) make needed changes. It can be particularly difficult for people to make needed changes if it is perceived that the change is being externally forced. Motivational Interviewing (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 the change behavior and become more internally motivated.
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
