Motivational Interviewing Foundations
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a strengths-based approach to conversations that helps draw out people’s own motivation and commitment to change in an atmosphere of compassion, acceptance, and partnership. The approach involves guiding and supporting a person through the natural process of sorting through mixed feelings about change.
This learning pathway contains three self-paced online courses that focus on building an understanding of the spirit of MI and developing core skills, including using OARS (open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries), responding to the way people talk about change, helping people to make Brief Action Plans, and understanding ‘resistance.’ A certificate of completion is provided to learners who finish the learning pathway in its entirety, including 1-on-1 practice and feedback calls with a CCMI facilitator.
