Speaker(s)
This workshop focuses on developing a workplace culture that aims to build Motivational Interviewing (MI) into the DNA of the organization. Too often, time and resources are wasted in training staff in MI in ways that produce very little lasting change in practice. This workshop aims to give a clear definition of MI as a measurable skill, provide strategies that are being successfully utilized by organizations to develop and maintain MI proficiency with their staff, and introduce participants to the wide variety of resources available to aid in the development of a lasting culture of MI.
Objectives:
- Review a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet the behavioral health needs of their clients and their families
- Provide a brief overview of Motivational Interviewing as an Evidence Based Practice
- Review strategies used successfully by organizations that have developed a sustainable culture of Motivational Interviewing
- Educate on the numerous free and cost effective resources available to support ongoing MI
