(MI) has a strong evidence base for working with people who are ambivalent about behavioral change. However, many practitioners have received only basic training in MI. This workshop will offer the opportunity to apply more advanced approaches when using motivational interviewing, as well as an opportunity for participants to discuss the application of MI to their own, real-life clinical scenarios.
This training is especially recommended for teams of clinicians, case managers, and other professionals as it helps to assure that the team is functioning from a shared framework and vocabulary when it comes to helping people address ambivalence.

The workshop will cover:
- Use of language cues to determine the correct MI Process in which to work
- Ways to soften sustain talk and evoke change talk
- Ways to strengthen preparatory change talk and move toward commitment language
