This is the third in our series of monthly trainings facilitated by technical experts from the Harm Reduction Coalition in New York.
The description is as follows: “Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative approach to working with people experiencing negative consequences from substance use and other challenging behaviors. It is a style of counseling that helps the person develop a schema about the positive and negative effects of their behavior, which facilitates readiness for change. Participants will learn MI techniques such as reflective listening, delivering feedback, summarizing, decisional balancing, and developing change plans. Strategies for translating MI principals in action will be discussed (e.g. expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, avoiding argument, and dealing with resistance). This session will also focus on the use of ambivalence in the counseling process and strategies for increasing motivation, self-efficacy, and optimism. This workshop will utilize case examples, role-plays, and peer feedback as methods to incorporate new skills learned.”
