Participants will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of MI, the role of ambivalence in behavior change, basic MI skills, and methods for identifying and eliciting change talk with clients. The training will provide an opportunity to learn and practice MI skills, followed by a demonstration of the student’s proficiency in MI skills.

  • Define ambivalence and describe the role it plays in client behavior.
  • Describe the spirit of MI and guiding principles.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in basic MI skills (e.g., OARS).
