Live interactive webinar: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussion by unmuting and directly asking questions or through the chat feature in Zoom.
Description: Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a way to talk to people about making a change. As an Evidence-Based practice, implementation science helps support the use of MI, including the coaching that direct service workers get in supervision. MI can also be used as a supervision tool to elicit a worker's best practices. This training will focus on skills for supporting MI in workers you supervise AND using MI as a supervisory tool. By improving worker competence in MI, supervisors can spend less time micromanaging and consulting on cases and more time in clinical supervision. We will discuss issues related to coaching best practices, fidelity, and implementation science principles that support MI adoption in agencies.
Learning Objectives:
Research: Select current research on MI can be found at US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
Target Audience: social workers, mental health practitioners, creative arts therapists, marriage and facility therapists, psychologists, addiction professionals, case managers, and other interested individuals.
