Speaker(s):
Presentation: This presentation will provide an overview of Motivational Interviewing in treatment. Based on the book, “Motivational Interviewing in Groups” by Chris Wagner and Karen Ingersoll, this workshop will provide a brief overview of different ways MI is being incorporated into group sessions, from MI “infused” Cognitive Behavioral skills groups to those built entirely on the foundation of Motivational Interviewing skills. There will be demonstration and discussion of several specific MI group exercises so that participants can walk away with a few practical strategies to implement in their current practice.
Objectives:
- Identify two primary ways that Motivational Interviewing is being utilized in group treatment
- Discuss MI in a group role play scenario
- Identify at least 3 ready-to-use MI strategies for group practice
