Have you been frustrated with your client’s or patient’s difficulties in making the behavior changes you recommend? Motivational Interviewing skills might be the answer to helping you become a more effective agent of change.
Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based, person-centered counseling style to help people resolve the common problem of ambivalence about change.
Join me on April 13, 2013 for an exciting and educational in-person and hands-on workshop on MI. In this workshop you will have ample opportunity to practice the skills of MI, and you will learn:
- The “spirit” of Motivational Interviewing, which forms the basis of your relationship
- The listening skills of MI, including learning to listen for “change talk”, times when the patient/client talks about change, and not you
- How to move the patient/client forward in the direction of positive change, without telling them what to do
- How to deal with the “resistant” patient or client
- The best ways to offer advice to your patient
- Place: Northeastern University, Boston, MA
- Cost: $200/person, $125 for students
- Date: April 13, 2013, 9AM-4PM
This workshop has been approved for 6 CEUs for Registered Dietitians
