Motivational Interviewing Training

August 24, 2021 by Cynthia Hoffman

Join Cynthia Hoffman and Claudia Figallo for this two-part, 6 CE unit workshop on Motivational Interviewing.

This workshop provides an introduction to the use of Motivational interviewing (MI) in the psychotherapeutic treatment of clients facing concerns around their alcohol and other drug use.
Participants will review the spirit and principles of MI as well practice relevant skills such as utilizing Open Ended Questions, Affirmations, Reflection and Summaries (OARS) as part of a session.

Assessment skills such as the decisional balance and motivation scales will also be discussed.

Participants will work in dyads and practice OARS with one another. We will, as a group, have time for questions and concerns one might have when adding these new skills to their practice.

Part one will take place Saturday, December 4, 9am – 12:15pm. Part two will take place December 11, 9:00am to 12:15p.

Cost for the Motivational Interviewing Training Parts 1 and 2 is $300 if taken on it’s own. If taken in combination with Harm Reduction Therapy trainings Parts 1 and 2, the price is $250.
