Bring awareness to individuals, enabling them to identify the discrepancy between their current behavior and their future goals.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, research-based dialogue process that strengthens intrinsic motivation for change in individuals. Participants will learn how to positively influence individuals to make meaningful life changes. MI grew out of addiction treatment and has demonstrated effectiveness in the fields of criminal justice, education, organizational management, and healthcare.
MI is particularly effective with individuals who are non-compliant and resistant to making changes. Understanding the “Stages of Change” will help practitioners develop strategies to support individuals in identifying and achieving their goals or developing new ones.
