Motivational Interviewing in Therapy and Counseling
MI Part 1: Saturday,December 4, 2021 and
MI Part 2: December 11, 2021
9:00am to 12:15p
This workshop provides an introduction to the use of Motivational interviewing (MI) in the psychotherapeutic treatment of clients facing concerns around their alcohol and other drug use. Many individuals who drink or use drugs can do so responsibly and with minimal impact to their lives and their environment. Using MI helps therapists work with clients to explore ambivalence, and build awareness of their relationship to alcohol and other drugs. MI will supports clients’ self-efficacy and self-trust thereby building capacity for sustainable change.
In this workshop, we will review the spirit and principles of MI as well practice relevant skills such as utilizing Open Ended Questions, Affirmations, Reflection and Summaries (OARS) as part of a session.
Assessment skills such as the decisional balance and motivation scales will also be discussed.
Participants will work in dyads and practice OARS with one another. We will, as a group, have time for questions and concerns one might have when adding these new skills to their practice.
Participants will be able to:
Define and explain Motivational Interviewing (MI) and how it can be utilized with clients contemplating change.
Explain the Stages of Change and how they relate to understanding and supporting clients.
Identify all MI principles and goals of MI.
Explain and practice OARS (Open-Ended Questions, Affirmations, Reflections and Summaries).
Gain practice in MI skills and tools through various exercises.
