Advanced Motivational Interviewing

Catalog description

In this course, the instructor will guide students to understand and practice how to bring MI (Motivational Interviewing) into their current context, whatever that is, at a graduate or self-authored level. Coaching and feedback from instructor and peers will enable students to get better at helping people to grow and change with MI, as measured by international standards. Police, nurses, probation officers, doctors, leaders, teachers, counselors, coaches, spouses, parents, and friends can and do use MI to have better conversations with the people they serve. Better conversations, better outcomes. The research on the value that MI adds to these fields is robust. Over 2,000 controlled clinical trials, 25,000 articles, and 100 books have shown that MI is an effective and evidence-based way of helping people change and grow.
