Building upon the foundation laid in the preceding March Webinar, this session serves as the second installment in a series of three, delving deeper into the intricacies of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its practical implementation within addiction treatment contexts. Participants will understand the core principles of MI and learn to identify three distinct types of reflective listening. The primary focus lies in utilizing these skills effectively to diminish ambivalence and foster growth within individuals undergoing addiction treatment. By honing these techniques, practitioners aim to enhance engagement and motivation, ultimately aiding in the journey towards recovery.
