Help Your Clients Achieve Their Goals with Motivational Interviewing
You are invested in your client's success and well-being. You know what they need to do and you know how they can do it.
Why is this individual still stuck? More importantly, how can you help?
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based approach for connecting with a person, exploring the possibility of change, and enhancing an individual's motivation to define and achieve their own version of "even better yet."
This person-centered style of communicating addresses ambivalence about a specific behavior change. It is appropriate for use in many settings in which the well-being of the client, patient, or supervisee is prioritized.
