This 8-hour online workshop (four sessions of 2 hours) is made for Motivational Interviewing (MI) practitioners who want to improve their practice and develop new techniques. It is based on practice and direct feedback in a small group setting, online.

Participants are strongly encouraged to submit one audio recording of an actual client intervention per session (recorded with due consent). If this is not possible, you are invited to record an intervention with a consenting friend or do a live real play during the session with the facilitator as the “client”. The group will have a strengths-based discussion of each recording: only self-criticism and criticism by the facilitator (as needed) will be permitted.

Objectives:

• Identify your strengths in your MI practice;
• Ascertain and target where you most need improvement;
• Practice MI and receive feedback specific to improving that practice;
• Develop effective strategies to transform “sustain talk” into “change talk”.
