Track A - What Motivates Change? Translating Theory Into Practice
This track is for those who want to enhance their skills in behavior change counseling.  The training will include a review of the use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) within evidence-based tobacco cessation interventions, including the "5 A's and the Ask/Advise/Refer" model for treating tobacco use and dependence.

MI is a person-centered, guiding method of communication and counseling to elicit and strengthen intrinsic motivation for positive health behavior change.  MI offers a practical, common sense approach for supporting clients in making and sustaining health behavior changes.

MI is not a unique or entirely new approach, but a combination of principles, skills and strategies drawn from existing models of counseling and behavior change theory.
