Health Education & Training Institute

This training is for learners who have completed the Foundational Motivational Interviewing and want to deepen their skills and understanding of Motivational Interviewing.

​

This highly experiential workshop will be focused on guiding participants through exercises that will drop them into experiences that ultimately evoke transformative learning. The goal is to have participants - whether they are trainers, educators, group leaders, clinicians, practitioners, or people trying to help others in the community - be even more bold in their caring work. The mind often blocks us from deepening our connections, but to evoke empathy, compassion, and collaboration, we must go beyond our fears, and engage with people through the heart.

​

Many practitioners already have a good grounding in the basic spirit, structure, and skills of MI, but need help in getting past any roadblocks with the people they collaborate with so that they may fully embrace and utilize Motivational Interviewing. During this workshop, participants will be exposed to a series of different exercises that we have found especially effective in communicating the spirit and in helping deepen practitioners’ skills of Motivational Interviewing.

From recent MI: Advancing trainings:

• I truly enjoyed every part of the training and learned many strategies that I will be incorporating into my clinical work.

• Stephen is an excellent instructor and facilitator and goes above and beyond to communicate MI concepts as well as answer all questions.

• It was amazing having the opportunity to be part of this training, it has given me a sense of purpose, I'm grateful for the learning experience, to become better at MI.

• Stephen, the instructor, was fantastic. His compassion is the foundation of his teaching style, and it really sinks in. This was the best MI training I have had.
