ABOUT MI
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based treatment that is one of the best available to address ambivalence to change. MI is a therapeutic technique designed to help people resolve their ambivalence about making meaningful personal changes in their lives. MI also helps people identify their readiness, willingness, and ability to make the change. There are four core principles of MI:
- Express empathy
- Roll with resistance
- Develop discrepancy
- Support self-efficacy

MEMBER OF MINT
Several of our consultants and trainers have been trained by and participate actively in the international Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), an initiative which is directed by MI co-creators William R. Miller, PhD, and Stephen Rollnick, PhD. Through MINT, the Center for EBPs maintains regular communication with peers throughout the world who are actively producing new research about and practice innovations for MI, enabling us to bring those innovations to you today.
OUR EXPERIENCE
MI is one of the core clinical components (and competencies) of evidence-based practices such as Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) and Supported Employment (SE), as well as other service models like Tobacco and Recovery (TR)—all of which are disseminated by the Center for EBPs at Case. Our consultants and trainers have accumulated decades of combined experience utilizing, supervising, training, and consulting around MI in a variety of direct-practice settings.
