This upcoming 1-day workshop is open to all professionals in health care, social services, and criminal justice settings. The workshop will be beneficial for those with no prior MI experience as well as for those who wish to renew their understanding of MI.
MI is a person-centered, directive style of consultation that uses empathy, empowerment, and the skillful use of directive listening to guide the client towards change. This workshop will provide a basic introduction to Motivational Interviewing. We will introduce the philosophy of MI, the microskills necessary for bringing this “spirit” into the consultation room, and various techniques that can be integrated into everyday professional practice.

MI: A Skills Development Workshop
Gary Rose, PhD
Practitioners from a wide range of settings face the challenge of encouraging patients to consider behavior change – in diet, smoking, taking medicines, exercise and drinking. It is often a frustrating encounter. This workshop provides an opportunity for practitioners who have already been utilizing the skills and techniques of Motivational Interviewing to:
- Learn about recent advances in models, concepts and skills for conducting constructive consultations about behavior change.
- Develop advanced competencies in selective reflection and eliciting change talk.
- Practice coding MI sessions for the purposes of supervision and skills development.
- Address the application of Motivational Interviewing to special populations (to be determined by the needs of the enrollees).
Open to all practitioners who have completed a basic workshop in MI and are interested in continuing to develop their skillfulness in MI. This intensive 1.5-day workshop is limited to 20 participants. The workshop meets on Friday, 9/19/08 from 8:30am-3:30pm and Saturday, 9/20/08 from 8:30am-12:30pm.
MI: Brief Interventions
Gary Rose, PhD
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an effective, evidence based consultation style for practitioners working with clients and patients regarding health behavior change. The challenges of this work are numerous, from initial engagement through treatment planning and maintenance of change. Direct persuasion and other traditional methods of health education are often ineffective, particularly when the opportunities to talk with patients about change are limited to a few brief moments of opportunistic conversation.
This workshop will address the applications of MI to health behavior change, with particular focus on briefer conversations about change. Building on the basics of MI, we will discuss and practice more advanced MI skills and techniques, including strategies for collaborative health education and treatment negotiation. There will be also be opportunities to design brief interventions pertinent to your adult or pediatric clinical practice. Although we will focus on health behavior change in general, we will also address in particular issues related to working with patients and their families regarding weight management, diabetes, smoking, and the management of chronic diseases.
Open to all practitioners in healthcare settings who have completed a basic introductory workshop and are interested in continuing to develop their skillfulness in MI. This 1-day workshop is limited to 24 participants.
MI for Dietary Behavior Change
Ellen Glovsky, PhD, RD, LDN
This 1.5-day workshop is designed specifically for dietitians, nutritionists, and others whose work entails helping people to change their behavior with food.
The workshop will provide a basic introduction to Motivational Interviewing, and introduce the philosophy of MI, the micro skills necessary for bringing this “spirit” into the consultation room, and various techniques that can be integrated into everyday professional practice. Teaching methods will include lecture, discussion, role play and “real play”, as well as viewing video clips that demonstrate the techniques of MI.
This workshop will be beneficial both to those with no prior MI experience as well as those who wish to renew their understanding of MI. The workshop meets on Friday, 10/17/08 from 9:00am-4:00pm and Saturday, 10/18/08 from 8:30am12:30pm. A light breakfast will be provided.
MI, Kids & Families: Intensive First Course
Gary Rose, PhD
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidenced based approach to counseling people towards behavior change. MI has demonstrated effectiveness in treatment applications that run the gamut, from addictions treatment through chronic and acute disease management to public health initiatives, criminal justice, and educational consultation. During the last ten years there has also been marked interest in the applications of the MI consultation style to work with adolescents, children, and their families. MI for kids and adolescents has addressed a variety of problems and concerns including adolescent smoking and substance misuse, school noncompliance, childhood obesity, unsafe sexual practices, and general child-parent conflict.
This workshop will provide a general introduction to the philosophy, science, and techniques of Motivational Interviewing, with particular focus on the needs of the professional who deals with children and adolescents. The workshop will provide a valuable learning experience both for practitioners who have no prior knowledge of MI as well as those who have been briefly introduced to the model.
This is an intensive 2-day workshop for individuals interested in achieving basic competence in the application of MI to their work with children, teens, and the adults who care for them. The workshop is limited to 20 participants.

What is Motivational Interviewing?
Ellen Glovsky, PhD, RD, LDN
This webinar will introduce the philosophy (“spirit”) and techniques of Motivational Interviewing (MI), an evidenced-based consultation style with applications to the many sub-fields of health behavior change, including addictions treatment, chronic disease management, diet and nutrition, diabetes education, and cardiac rehabilitation, to name but a few. We will discuss the concepts of the “righting reflex,” change talk, and the decisional matrix, three core components of the MI guiding style. This webinar is ideal for any professional who is wondering if MI might be a helpful strategy for their clinical practice.
Motivational Interviewing and the "Non-Diet" Approach to Dietary Behavior Change
Ellen Glovsky, PhD, RD, LDN
Motivational Interviewing skills are especially useful in teaching a “non-diet” approach to dietary behavior change. This non-diet approach teaches hunger and fullness awareness, food choice based on what one really wants to eat, and conscious eating. The method takes into account special dietary needs as well as a healthy diet for disease prevention.
This webinar will discuss the basics of Motivational Interviewing, and its application to the “non-diet” method. We will discuss the philosophy (“spirit”) and techniques of Motivational Interviewing, as well as the concepts of the “righting reflex,” change talk, and the decisional matrix, three core components of the MI guiding style. This webinar is appropriate for any health care provider who works with clients/patients regarding dietary behavior change. Click here for information on CEUS.
MI: Brief Interventions
Gary Rose, PhD
Direct persuasion and other traditional methods of health education are often ineffective. This is particularly true when the opportunities to talk with patients about change are limited to a few brief moments of opportunistic conversation.
This intermediate webinar will address the applications of MI to health behavior change, with particular focus on briefer conversations about change. Building on the basics of MI, we will discuss the modification of MI techniques to fit the time-limited consultation.
Open to all practitioners in healthcare settings who had a basic exposure to MI, either through a previous training experience or through reading an MI textbook.
