Attendees will gain a basic understanding of the spirit of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and ways to implement it with multi-system-involved youth and families. Participants will learn practical ways to implement MI skills into their current work to collaborate with youth and families, how to engage youth and families’ current motivation to change a particular behavior, and how to use MI Open-ended Questions, Affirmations, and Reframing/Reflections (OARS) to further enhance or consolidate the client’s level of motivation. This training has many activities, handouts, and videos to support all learning styles.
