Motivational Interviewing
HYBRID COURSE – 7 Hours offered online over one week, and live for two days (14 hours) via Zoom

Tuition:  $230

 

Prerequisite:  Addiction Counseling Skills

 

Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered collaborative style of conversation designed to strengthen a person’s motivation for and commitment to change.  MI is counselor-directed in that the counselor is skilled at managing ambivalence, eliciting change-talk and honoring the client’s autonomy about taking the next step toward a commonly agreed upon goal (Miller & Rollnick, 2010). The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) has identified MI as a best practice within the addiction treatment field.

 

In this hybrid course you will be introduced to the concepts and tenets of Motivational Interviewing during the one-week didactic portion of class, worth 7 hours. Then the following week you will meet for live instruction via Zoom for two days (14 hours) of practice with our expert Motivational Interviewing instructor. Satisfactory completion of both modules is required to pass the course. Note: a minimum of six students is required for each live section on Zoom.
