This course is designed for practitioners who have been using Motivational Interviewing on a regular basis and want to learn advanced techniques for creating behavior change.

This course will highlight advanced techniques for assessments, developing a change plan discussion, and motivating others by minimizing sustain talk and evoking change talk. Ample time will be given for demonstration of these skills as well as the opportunity to practice in pairs, including the use of the readiness ruler, the value card sort, and incorporating the concept of stages of change. This course is designed to help you practice and advance to a more effective practitioner.
