Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based style of communication focused on helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence by drawing out their intrinsic motivation and capacity for change. This five-week course uses a blend of self-paced components, partner work and live sessions to support learning. Participants will learn the principles, processes and strategies of MI and how to utilize these in order to help individuals move toward change.
This training, led by Angela Cooper, will take place via an instructor-led online format over five weeks (including self-paced and live virtual components). Each week is intended to be 4-5 hours of work. All participants will receive feedback weekly, including written feedback on activities submitted to the instructor, and in the moment verbal feedback in live virtual sessions.
Weekly schedule (4-5 hours per week for five weeks)
This is an intensive course covering the learning typically involved in both a basic MI training and an intermediate level training. Participants must commit to participating in all five weeks, as each session builds on the previous. Participants can expect to devote 4-5 hours each week to both self-paced and live virtual components for a total of 20-25 hours over the five weeks.
