This is a conversation in Motivational Interviewing,(MI), to illustrate the power of one person in the lives of the people we serve. During this healthcare crisis, providers are transmitting all the goodness conveyed to them in their lives by influential people and experiences.

Motivational Interviewing awakens one's inner sense of purpose and enthusiasm for the hard work being done during this health care crisis. Objectives: Describe the characteristics of influential people; Become aware of compassionate listening and its impact on suffering; and Discuss the impact of difficult judgement of others

Recent research on implementation science highlights the importance of understanding the practical strategies that support uptake of new practices and adoption of evidence-based practices (EBP) by clinicians. For example, placing reminders or prompts in the practice setting where the clinician can easily see them provides timely cues that reinforce use of the EBPs. [see Cullen & Adams, 2012; Leathers, 2016; Sholomskas et al., 2005]. With this in mind, the MPATTC worked with a Motivational Interviewing (MI) expert/researcher to create posters that serve as a reminder/prompt about four important tenets of MI and reinforce use of this EBP by clinicians. These posters can be downloaded in multiple formats directly from the MPATTC website and include a QR code that can be scanned to access additional MI resources, products, and training found within the ATTC Network. It is recommended to display these posters together, however they can be used individually as well. Please note: to maximize the impact of these products, display the 11x17 posters in a location most visible and accessible to clinicians.     To Download:  The MI Prompt/Reminder Posters were designed for display as 11x17 sized posters.
