Empowering Change: A Training for Occupational Therapy Practitioners in Motivational Interviewing


Dates/Times:

Course Cost:

Note: This course satisfies the 12-hour MI training requirement for obtaining Lifestyle Redesign Certification.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is an effective approach to overcoming the ambivalence that keeps many people from making desired changes in their lives. Occupational therapy practitioners and other healthcare professionals will find this method of therapeutic communication to be an effective tool to both understand the nature of behavior change and to develop the skills to identify readiness for change; and, ultimately, to facilitate the process.

This is a live, interactive course in which participants will apply MI principles through role-playing. This is designed to be a supportive learning environment where participants will be actively engaged in practicing MI skills. While this course is designed to be applied to OT practice, the content covered can be applicable to any population, therefore, all disciplines are welcome.

This is a 12-hour course held across 3 days (4 hours per day). Participants are expected to fully participate for the entire course.
