PROGRAM DETAILS
Enduring client change is achievable through Motivational Interviewing (MI). MI is the powerful evidence-based method for engaging intrinsic client motivation. Clinical trials on use of MI in all areas of treatment abound with substantial outcomes for creating sustainable change in maladaptive behaviors far beyond compliance.
MI is proven to be fully compatible with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Moral Reconation Therapy, Therapeutic Community, and various other approaches as a method that helps people resolve ambivalence toward change through discovery of intrapersonal motivation by placing complete responsibility for change on the individual.
With public and private agencies under increased scrutiny to deliver on promises through evidence based practices, executives must evaluate practices, techniques and programs to improve results and financial outcomes. Motivational Interviewing has applications in various settings giving staffs skills to help their clients succeed through appropriate evidence based practices.
“When I was first asked to attend this training, I thought to myself, 'Not another training! Now am glad I came. It's the best training I have attended in a good while!”

PROGRAM OUTLINE
This program teaches foundational concepts, strategy and techniques involved in MI and how it can be developed and utilized dynamically in targeted settings. It is excellent for staffs with little or no knowledge of the MI approach as well as those already implementing the model.
Joyfields Institute MI programs are taught through presentations, video examples, instructor modeling, and practice breakout activities.
