Workshop Session 1
Motivational Interviewing: An Overview for Peer Specialists
Motivational interviewing is a communication style that promotes collaboration with the client/patient in a manner that elicits motivation for change from within the person rather than convincing, coercing or talking someone into making a change. This presentation will provide an overview of motivational interviewing: what it is, who it’s for, and when to use it. Additionally, several key concepts/skills will be discussed, and examples provided to help participants identify communication skills or strategies they can begin to use (or use more often) to help clients become more motivated for change.
