ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Motivational Interviewing helps persons with mental and addiction disorders and other chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and asthma make positive behavioral changes to support better health.
This webinar provides behavioral health specialists, psychologists, clinical social workers, alcohol and drug treatment counselors, physicians, and nurse practitioners with an overview of how to implement Motivational Interviewing in clinical settings and reviews the benefits to clients. The webinar covers the four principles of Motivational Interviewing — expressing empathy and avoiding arguing, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance and supporting self-efficacy (client’s belief he or she can successfully make a change).
