Two Fridays
March 8th and 22nd, 2024
10:00 am - 4:30 pm EST, with a 30-minute break for lunch
Registration also includes four, 60-minute, group consultation sessions with MI experts to be completed after the workshop to help attendees implement MI with their own clients.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) sounds great on paper and sometimes us helpers struggle with when and how to use it in their clinical practice. This two-day workshop will review the relational and technical tools of MI and strategies to bring MI to life in your clinical work.
Materials have been updated to reflect new content in the recently released 4th edition of the Motivational Interviewing textbook, including the new MI spirit language. We will cover MI basic relational skills (spirit and microskills - OARS (open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summary statements) as well as dive into the MI technical skills (eliciting and reinforcing change talk).
We will review MI tools that you can use in sessions and incorporate with other techniques you employ in your work. We will leverage a combination of real play, role play, and demonstrations to take your best MI knowledge and apply it. Participants are encouraged to bring case examples.
Great news for clinicians! This workshop offers 12 CEs upon completion of BOTH days. CEs are available for psychologists nationwide, New York psychologists specifically, as well as LPCs and LMFTs licensed in New Jersey. Attendance on BOTH days is required to receive CE credit.
