This online training focuses on key skills and concepts in motivational interviewing with adults and adolescents. Importantly, it also covers recent changes made to MI as a model of change during the past three years. MI is a client-centered counseling method for exploring how and why a person might change, and is based upon a guiding style. Its principles and techniques match those known to produce positive outcomes with sexual abusers (e.g., Marshall, 2005). MI can be very useful for motivating adolescents who are ambivalent about change and ambivalent about engaging in treatment.
Topics to be covered include:
1) Demonstration of skills
2) Specific application with adolescents
3) Educational videos
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
1) Identify the four components that make up the “MI Spirit”
2) Distinguish between the four motivational interviewing
micro-skills
3) Identify the four processes that make up MI
