This training defines the evidence-based practice of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and draws attention to the distinction between practicing MI and Client-Centered Counseling. Many providers, because they've attended an MI training, are under the impression they are practicing MI. When in reality, based on review of audio recordings, they are not. This interactive opportunity will address this misconception and help providers to intentionally practice MI when appropriate.

Credits: This training meets the requirements for one renewal hour (CASAC, CPP, CPS) and one initial hours (CPP, CPS) through New York State’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports (NYS OASAS). Participants must attend the session IN ITS ENTIRETY to receive a certificate of completion.
