Health Education and Training Institute










In this intensive 3 day training, proficiency in understanding of Motivational
Interviewing (MI) is assumed as a starting point; the focus is on trainer and
coaching skills to facilitate learning of MI. This training is designed to prepare
the health, mental health and correctional professional to teach, train and
coach this effective, evidence-based clinical method. Participants will learn a
well-developed, sequenced and integrated set of skills for coaching,
supervising and teaching MI across various settings.

Motivational Interviewing is a client/patient-centered, directive method for
enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving
ambivalence.

Enrollment for this workshop will be limited to 25-30 people.  It will not qualify
participants for membership in the international Motivational Interviewing
Network of Trainers (MINT), however participants will be issued a Certificate of
Participation for 18 CEUs upon completion of the TTT workshop.

During this three day workshop, participants will:

  • Discuss ways to teach, coach this material to others.
  • Learn the fundamentals of Motivational Interviewing for use in health-
    care settings.
  • Explore, apply ways of integrating Motivational Interviewing to a variety of
    settings.
  • Practice Motivational Interviewing on “challenging” clients through role,
    real playing and discussion.
  • Adapt evidence, practice-based strategies to different populations.
  • Understand and be able to explain the rationale and research for MI.
  • Develop a mindful observing “eye” to notice, sense resistance.
  •  Notice change and commitment language in dialogue.
  • Develop ways to integrate this material in coaching/supervision.

TTT REQUIREMENTS:  Enrollment will be offered to no more than 30
participants.  Applicants must already have substantial familiarity and
experience with Motivational Interviewing.  This is an advanced workshop
focused on how to teach MI, and does not focus on acquisition of proficiency in
the clinical skills themselves.  Your attached application detailing prior
background and experience with MI should include answers to the following
bullet points:

  • Describe your initial MI training experience (e.g., how, when and who
    taught you).
  • What type of supervision have you had in MI clinical practice?
  • Describe your view of counseling and the therapist-client relationship.
  • To whom and in what setting(s) do you anticipate teaching MI as a
    trainer?

Once your application has been reviewed and approved, we recommend that
you submit your registration fee of $450 immediately.  Approval of application
does not guarantee space in the workshop.  Approved applications will be
accepted in order of receipt of payment up to the enrollment limit.

We accept:  Checks, cash, or online payment.

Refunds, less a $50 processing fee, are available until December 15th.
