Description:
Trying to help someone change can be challenging. Helpers can have a hard time resisting the “righting reflex” and often feel stuck in a wrestling match with the very person they are trying to help. Motivational Interviewing (MI) offers an approach to have respectful and effective conversations that increase adolescents’ motivation to change unhealthy or unsafe behaviors.
This virtual workshop will provide a basic overview by (re)introducing participants to the principles of MI, as well as specific strategies and skills that can be easily incorporated into brief conversations with young people.
