This Training is funded through the Mecklenburg County Health Department (MCHD) Health Literacy and COVID-19 Plan, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health (OMH) grant initiative.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based communication style designed to help clients identify their readiness, willingness and ability to make meaningful change in their lives. MI can be added onto other models to increase the likelihood of participants’ success and reduce attrition. In this workshop, we will examine the theory behind this client-centered approach to support our work in helping clients resolve ambivalence and commit to action. We will talk about techniques to draw out people in order to magnify their motivations and help them become empowered to make changes to meet their own goals.
The introduction will involve a number of exercises to help distinguish the practice of MI from other styles of psycho-education. We will learn specific applications of MI, practice communicating the spirit of MI, and develop capacity to use MI as Community Health Workers.
