This two-part, practice-focused webinar clarifies the relationship between Client-Centered Counseling and the evidence based practice of Motivational Interviewing. MI is more than OARS (the micro-skills) and intentional use of these skills is essential to support behavior change. “How to’ find a client-centered, behavioral Change Goal will be demonstrated and participants will practice this process. The ‘use’ and ‘purposeful’ use of OARS will also be discussed. Prior training and practice of MI are a plus and not required for participation in this webinar.
