CLINICAL SKILLS
Learn Motivational Interviewing to Build Trust, Relationships around Desire for Personal Change
Editor's Note: This story has been updated to reflect current activities.
Help people discover and talk about their desire for personal change, like managing symptoms of mental illness; reducing the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; and improving physical health. Attend our Center's Motivational Interviewing (MI) training series. Participants engage in skill-building
exercises to learn MI's client-centered approaches for responding to
desire for change and resistance to change among individuals with severe
mental illness, substance use disorders, or co-occurring disorders. MI is a core component of evidence-based practices and other best practices and is used in many service settings:
- Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
- Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT)
- Supported Employment/ Individual Placement and Support (SE/IPS)
- Integrated Primary and Behavioral Healthcare (IPBH)
- Tobacco: Recovery Across the Continuum (TRAC)
- Housing Services
- Residential Services
- Veterans Affairs
- Child Welfare
What Is MI?
MI
is an evidence-based treatment that is one of the best available to
address ambivalence to change. It is a conversational approach designed
to help people discover their own interest in considering and making positive changes in their lives. It helps them express in their own words
their desire for change (i.e., "change-talk") about a number of
personal issues, such as
- Diet
- Exercise
- Managing
symptoms of mental illness and physical illness
- Reducing and
eliminating the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs
