December 12 Motivational Interviewing Practice Day 1 on ZOOM

Motivational Interviewing Practice Days are designed for those who have taken the On Demand (or previously live) training. Practice Day 1 will cover the Spirit of MI and OARS and Practice Day 2 will cover Change Talk, Sustain Talk and Giving Advice. Each Practice Day is 3 hours. There will be no new content but will expand on content covered in the asynchronous format. All participants will be expected to participate in practice exercises both in large and small groups.
