The New England ATTC, in partnership with The Substance Use and Mental Health Leadership Council of Rhode Island is providing targeted TA in "Basic Motivational Interviewing" on 10/5/22 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with subject matter expert Robert Jope. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, evidence-based, goal-oriented method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence with the individual. This active, skill-building workshop provides participants with knowledge of the spirit, micro skills, and strategies of the model, and provides opportunities to practice the approach. Participants will complete the workshop with a good understanding of MI, and are encouraged to take the Intermediate and Advanced MI workshops to develop proficiency in this method.
