Basic Motivational Interviewing (Part 1 of 3)

Basic Motivational Interviewing (Part 1 of 3) 

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, evidence-based, goal-oriented method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence with the individual. This active, skill-building workshop provides participants with knowledge of the spirit and micro skills of the model, and provides opportunities to practice the approach. Participants will complete the workshop with a good understanding of MI, and are encouraged to take the Intermediate and Advanced MI workshops to develop proficiency in this method.

For those interested, we have 3 sessions of motivational interviewing scheduled at Bennington Rescue.  We've spaced them out to hopefully allow folks to attend as many as possible without having to try to get away for 3 days in a row.  We have a few seats reserved to our crew and are opening the rest to the EMS, co-responders (law/fire), mental health, and SUD / recovery communities.
