This 7-hour training provides attendees with a foundational understanding of Motivational Interviewing. Attendees will learn to assess client/family motivation around behavior change, and examine how to use Motivational interviewing open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries (OARS) to further enhance or consolidate the client’s change focus. Attendees will leave with the ability to differentiate between sustain talk, discord, and change talk, resulting in increased treatment planning efficacy. The day will culminate with practice creating change plans.
