Training Overview Description
This training will introduce the key techniques of Motivational Interviewing.
Participants will integrate OARS (open ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries) in their work to motivate clients toward behavior change. The work of Brene Brown inspires the introduction of the training with brief exploration of the art and science of empathy. We will reflect on how to turn conventional casework upside down by challenging our “righting reflex” with motivational Interviewing skills.
Participants will be challenged to ask open-ended questions, give affirmations and use reflective listening during difficult interactions with people. We will explore how MI can help participants avoid some common conversation traps. Using the Transtheoretical Model, we will discuss how to motivate a person through the stages of change.
- Discuss open-ended questions, affirmations and reflective listening.
- Describe how to use a summary during an interaction with a person.
- Recognize ambivalence and how to reflect back the discrepancy between a person’s thinking and his/her behaviors.
- Describe how a person, when changing a behavior, moves through the stages of change.
