Motivational Interviewing
This Workforce Wednesday
Webinar features Motivational Interviewing (MI).
MI is a type of conversation
to help individuals make decisions, change behavior(s) and grow while
increasing their intrinsic motivation to work toward reaching their goals. It
can help people strengthen their commitment to change, focusing on almost any
aspect of life where choice is required: health or lifestyle changes (diet,
substance use, exercise, mental health. It also is useful to help individuals
determine their willingness to comply with institutional expectations,
constraints, or sanctions (corrections, schools, employer demands) or make
important life decisions.
The conversation often moves from ambivalence, and the uncertainty of how to achieve positive outcomes, which requires effort to resolve and MI provides a skillful way to help them think. It involves a collaborative rather than directive process, honoring the person’s autonomy and self-determination rather than providing advice or pushing. It helps individuals explore their capacity to change and is done with a genuine interest in their experience and perspectives. MI is an evidence-based counseling or conversational approach which begins with a required “Spirit of MI” (heart set-mindset, nonjudgmental way of being) and uses some core skills, overall tasks or processes and can involve strategies used to increase “change talk.”
The workshops use experiential and interactive learning tools to help providers gain proficiency in this approach and maximize engagement and learning. Richard Rutschman, the workshop facilitator of these sessions, is a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers, has a doctorate in adult learning specializing in experiential learning approaches, and has authored on this approach.
After attending this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Understand
the required way of being present with the person (Spirit of MI)
- Know
the four core skills used (asking Open questions, reflective listening,
affirming, and Summarizing)
- Know
the four tasks needed to help the person make decisions to help them
achieve their goals.
- Some
strategies to help people think and make decisions.
