By Dr. Thad Leffingwell
Description
This course is designed to introduce participants to the fundamental principles and practice of Motivational Interviewing (MI).
Professionals of all types including those who work in mental health and substance use (e.g. psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, case managers) and health care (e.g., physicians, PAs, nurses) settings will benefit from this course by being exposed to principles of MI, which is an evidence-based approach to bring about behavior change in clients or patients who may be ambivalent and resistant about making adaptive changes.
