Motivational Interviewing (MI) Skills Training for Supervisory Teams (August 20, 2024)

REGISTER

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-2 of the 3-Part system. Particpants may take any session by itself, or combined as needed.

PROGRAM OUTLINE

The aim of this workshop program is to;

1. Train supervisors on the basic MI skills to apply for leading and managing their staff in day-to-day interactions,

2. Train supervisors to use MI skills when providing professional feedback and motivating employee behavior change, and

3. Train supervisors and managers on initial skills and considerations when providing ongoing coaching support to their staff who have received MI training and are applying their MI skills with clients.

Previous MI Skills training required. Participants are encouraged to participate in the MI Skills training scheduled ahead of this one to gain an understanding of essential MI skills or to simply refresh what they already know.
