OVERVIEW
Note: This event was formerly known as "Motivational Interviewing 2." 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 2 "Foundations of Motivational Interviewing (MI), Part 2" reviews the basic concepts learned in "Foundations of Motivational Interviewing (MI), Part 1" and discusses with participants their experiences integrating the model into their clinical work. They will be introduced to specific techniques to recognize, elicit, and strengthen change talk, as well as consolidate a person’s commitment to change. Participants will have an opportunity to practice these techniques in role/real-play and other group exercises, which emphasize clinical skills for working with people diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness and/or substance use disorders.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to...
- Discuss experiences using skills from "MI, Part 1"
- Review basic concepts from "MI, Part 1"
- Define and identify change talk versus sustain talk when working with severely mentally ill/substance using clients
- Identify and practice strategies to elicit and reinforce change talk
