Learning Objectives
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based clinical
counseling method designed for evoking intrinsic motivation for
positive behavior change.  Originally developed in the drug and
alcohol field by William Miller, Ph.D. and Stephen Rollnick, Ph.D., MI
is now being widely applied in a variety of settings including health
care.

At the conclusion of this four-hour workshop, the participant will be able
to:

1.      Understand the paradox of change.
2.      Describe the spirit and key principles of Motivational Interviewing.
3.      Use listening skills to strengthen a patient’s commitment to change.
4.      Provide feedback, information or advice in a motivation-enhancing
way.
