Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence –based practice used to build motivation for change and reduce resistance during interactions with clients or participants who are experiencing ambivalence with regards to a specific behavioral health change. This workshop is designed for providers who have had at least some exposure to motivational interviewing techniques and are interested in refining skills and strategies to build motivation in clients who seem less interested in change.
