Motivational Interviewing to Improve Health Outcomes
Motivational interviewing (MI) is guided by a series of principles that emphasize a collaborative relationship in which the autonomy of the client is respected and the client’s intrinsic resources for change are elicited by the facilitator. Within MI, the facilitator adopts a non-confrontational approach to guide the client toward change. This webinar will provide an overview of motivational interviewing, the principles behind this technique, and the barriers that clients may face during the process of change.
