ABOUT THE WEBINAR SERIES
Healthcare professionals often struggle to understand why those they serve do not follow a care plan to address their health and/or behavioral health conditions. While many effective treatment approaches exist for individuals who are ready to make health-related changes, helping these individuals explore the impact of their conditions, consider what to do, and adhere to a treatment regimen can create unique challenges that the healthcare system is less prepared to address.
The three-part "Motivational Interviewing Webinar Series: Helping People Embrace Behavior Change in Healthcare Settings" is designed to teach primary and behavioral healthcare providers and staff members strategies that they can use to support readiness for health-related behavior change among individuals they serve.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based approach with demonstrated efficacy in both behavioral and primary healthcare settings. It is a collaborative, person-centered form of guidance to elicit and strengthen an individual's own motivation for change. It includes the person as an active partner in his or her health-related change process.
