Motivational Interviewing Training
Why MITEY Change?
- A professional’s lack of skills and confidence are the biggest barriers to providing effective risk reduction coaching to youth.
- Giving information alone is not enough to promote behavior change and often causes more resistance in youth.
- Learning how to apply MI in real-world practice requires a hands-on and interactive approach.
What’s included:
- Accessible 24/7, participants complete the MITEY Change Online Course at their own pace – providing a more robust and effective live workshop experience.
- Live onsite or virtual workshop to translate MI knowledge into effective practice. The MI workshops support effective adult learning by providing a dynamic and engaging experience for participants including real life examples, video demonstrations, observations, role plays and group activities that build from the online learning course.
