Motivational Interviewing (MI) is both a therapeutic philosophy and a set of methods used to help people resolve their ambivalence or uncertainty about making meaningful, personal changes in their lives. MI is designed to strengthen an individual’s motivation toward a specific goal by exploring the person’s own reasons for change in an environment of acceptance and compassion. You will learn:
- The five core principles of MI
- Helpful techniques, such as active listening, to support people who struggle with behavior change or identifying goals
- How to identify an individual’s readiness, willingness and ability to make changes in their life
