Motivational Interviewing (MI): Beyond the Basics (3 CE Hours)
Training Description:
Stop cheerleading for change and empower your clients to take an active role in pursuing their desired goals! Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative and goal-oriented approach to conversations about change. When working with clients who express ambivalence about making a change, MI becomes a powerful tool to navigate the complexities of their thoughts and feelings. This training will be facilitated by MINT Trainer, Sarah Gainey, MSW, LISW-CP/S. This is a live virtual event and requires a working microphone and camera to participate. A Zoom link and instructions will be provided prior to the training. You must attend the full session to receive credit; no partial credit will be awarded.

- Have some previous training and experience in MI

- Provide information in an MI-consistent manner
- Cultivate client change talk
