NHA - CL - Motivational Interview Training - Practice & Feedback Sessions - Curriculum

As a part of your training, you are invited to attend individual (30 min) or group (1 hr) Motivational Interviewing (MI) practice and feedback via zoom to practice applying the knowledge and skills you have learned.

Examples of how you may choose to spend your time include:

1. Clarification of a topic: Learn additional information covered in your workshop or online course. You will receive a short description or demonstration, have an opportunity to briefly discuss the topic, practice and get feedback of skills as needed;
2. Case study: Bring a situation with a patient or client that you would like to discuss. This would be a situation where you might be “stuck” or would benefit from a new perspective and how to apply what you learned from your workshop or online course. Be prepared to describe the situation, and the group will discuss the situation and the principles or skills that might apply and practice and get feedback of skills as needed;
3. Role play: The CCMI trainer will play a patient or client and you will have an opportunity to practice your skills and then receive feedback from your group members and the trainer. You may want to focus on a particular skill, such as “I’d like to work on complex reflections.”
4. Real play: The CCMI trainer will be discuss an area of their own lives that they are ambivalent about. Ask an open-ended question to start the discussion like “What would you like to talk about today?”. The conversation will be 7-10 minutes and you will use your MI OARS (open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections & summaries) to support them through the conversation. A feedback sandwich will be used to provide feedback.
5. Your idea. You may have an additional way you would like to spend your time working with a knowledgeable trainer.
