Motivational Interviewing - Level 2
| Course Number: | ESD121030 |
| Course Title: | Motivational Interviewing - Level 2 |
| Course Description: | Research shows that people are more motivated to make change when it's based on their own values and choices. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a style of interacting founded on the belief that people are more persuaded by what they hear themselves say then by what someone else says or tells them to do. In this level 2 session, participants will deepen and strengthen their foundational MI skills learned in the level 1 session, including proven techniques to help students/clients make behavior changes; assessing attitudes, beliefs and practices regarding the spirit and purpose of MI; and understanding ambivalence as the key obstacle to behavior change. Material from the 2nd edition MI guide will be presented. Some time will be spent on how to address tobacco use with specific groups, including chemical dependency groups for youth and adults. The issue of self-care or personal caretaking will also be addressed. Jonnae Tillman has two degrees in Psychology from Seattle University and has been practicing in Public Health for over 15 years.
