Presented by
Stephanie Troyer and Nicki Venable
Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers

Motivational Interviewing is defined by Dr. William R. Miller and Dr. Stephen Rollnick, the founders of the approach, as “a client-centered directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation for change by exploring and resolving ambivalence.”

Professionals around the world are now using a Motivational Interviewing approach to explore and resolve ambivalence for change. A growing body of research supports this method for eliciting and supporting change talk that leads to action. In a two day, interactive workshop, probation officers will learn the principles of Motivational Interviewing, the opening strategies, methods for eliciting “change talk”, and ways to roll with resistance. Most importantly, probation officers will be able to implement the 'Spirit of Motivational Interviewing' in their own professional setting. This workshop will provide a relaxed environment for learning, with opportunities for professional networking with others using Motivational Interviewing in a variety of settings.

• Apply strategies for Rolling with Resistance
