Motivational Interviewing (MI) is designed to empower people to change by drawing out their own meaning, importance, and capacity for change.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is based on a respectful and curious way of being with people that facilitate the natural process of change and honors the individual’s autonomy. 

This course will explore the key principles of MI with impactful resources and language around open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarization. This course will help Recovery Coaches empower others by learning to evoke change talk and how to recognize when the change talk is happening with those they working with. There are many opportunities for role play that will help the Recovery Coaches utilize the tools they will be gaining from this training.
