Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a communication approach that is client-centered and directional; aimed at changing something specific. The goal of MI is to help clients explore and resolve their ambivalence to change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.

 

A worker using an MI approach recognizes that people make their own decisions about change. The worker does not work to convince someone else to change. An MI approach naturally decreases the normal and automatic resistance a person feels when someone tries to change their behaviour. MI is designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation and movement toward a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own arguments for change.

 

In this course you will learn,

  • What is motivational interviewing
  • The state of ambivalence
  • The stages of change
