Motivational Interviewing (MI) Skills For Front-Line & Direct Services Teams (August 6, 2024)

Motivational Interviewing (MI) has been used for over 50 years to help people change behaviors. Professionals recognize how effective the method is and make it an essential part of their tool kit. While the MI method is intellectually understandable, true success comes from practice, coaching, and ongoing training development for existing and incoming new staff. To avoid over-reliance on external trainers and associated high expense, serious organizations must establish in-house systems for providing ongoing coaching and training support to ensure their employees retain MI skills training they receive.

* This is Session-1 of the 3-Part system. Particpants may take any session by itself, or combined as needed.

Program Outline

If you are ready to enhance your impact as a professional working with clients, our core Motivational Interviewing (MI) program will equip you with essential skills for success, whether you’re serving clients remotely or on-site.

Why MI Matters

  • Evidence-Based Excellence: MI is a proven method for engaging intrinsic client motivation. Clinical trials across various treatment areas consistently demonstrate substantial outcomes in sustainable behavior change beyond mere compliance.
  • Ambivalence Resolution: MI effectively addresses client ambivalence toward change, placing responsibility squarely on the individual. It’s a game-changer for achieving enduring results.

  • Dynamic Application: Discover how MI can be dynamically utilized in targeted settings. From beginners to seasoned practitioners, everyone benefits.
  • Recognize and Elevate: Recognize familiar techniques in your current practice, and elevate your fidelity to the MI model through focused training.

Who Should Attend

All agency staff should attend.

“I liked that the information was tactical, action-oriented, and given from the perspective of organizational development. I liked that we were provided with specific tools (questionnaires and assessments) to utilize with our agencies. I am in strong agreement that we need to focus on internal processes and on staff outcomes as part of an evidence-based approach and I think it's great that the workshop highlighted this throughout “
