With an understanding of the spirit as the heart of motivational interviewing (MI), this training will examine and apply select skills to enhance the helper’s ability to make connections with those they serve. Specifically, open-ended questions (inviting conversation) will be contrasted with closed-ended questions. Following that, reflective listening will be presented as one of the most vital techniques used by an MI practitioner. Lastly, affirmations will be differentiated from the MI-inconsistent use of praise.

This training will involve interactive applications of essential MI elements and can serve as an introduction to MI for beginning helpers, as well as a refresher for seasoned practitioners.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

Explain the importance of the spirit of MI.
Utilize open-ended questions as a means to facilitate discussion.
Demonstrate the use of reflective listening statements to enhance engagement and understanding of diverse perspectives.
Describe the difference between praise and affirmations.
