OVERVIEW
Note: This event was formerly known as "Motivational Interviewing 1." The title has been updated to reflect more accurately the content of the training.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, person-centered form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change. It is a way of working with people (consumers, clients, patients) to assist them in accessing their intrinsic motivation to change behaviors that contradict their essential values and interfere with the achievement of their life goals. Motivational Interviewing is both a philosophy and a set of strategic techniques. It is an evidence-based treatment with a broad range of applications.
The Center for Evidence-Based Practices (CEBP) at Case Western Reserve University makes an attempt to incorporate exercises and examples specific to the unique practice settings of participants in its training events, with an emphasis upon skills that advance the recovery of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness and/or substance use disorders. The CEBP's core Motivational Interviewing training events include the following:
- Foundations of Motivational Interviewing, Part 1
- Foundations of Motivational Interviewing, Part 2
- Motivational Interviewing, Applied Skills for Practice
- Motivational Interviewing, Resources for Clinical Supervisors
The CEBP provides Foundations of Motivational Interviewing as two all-day events, Part 1 and Part 2. Both workshops provide core concepts and skills from which participants may build proficiency in the use of this evidence-based treatment. At the completion of Part 1, the CEBP expects participants to practice the basic strategies of MI in their work settings before attending Part 2.
THIS EVENT | FOUNDATIONS, PART 1
