Course Description

This training of skill development will initially offer a brief review of the fundamental spirit, processes, and skills of MI, and then focus intensively on clinical skills development. This is an advanced course in Motivational Interviewing so it is expected that the participant will be able to demonstrate the foundational MI skills by conducting a client interview using the OARSI and responding to no-change talk (resistance).
