Description

Motivational Interviewing (MI), a collaborative conversational style for strengthening a person’s own motivation and commitment to change, has been shown to be effective in supporting the engagement and progress of individuals and families involved in child welfare services. This first self-paced online course will introduce learners to MI, including its history, spirit, principles, processes, and skills. This training is a prerequisite for the live “Motivational Interviewing (MI) Skills for Child Welfare Professionals: Virtual Workshops” course.

Supervisors, lead workers, or designated specialists within agencies who are designated to provide supervision to MI trained workers must complete training before workers, at the same time as workers, or within six months of workers starting training.
