Webinar Description:
This workshop offered a chance for exposure to the use of Motivational Interviewing in HIV settings. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based counseling approach to elicit client-focused behavior change. Drawing on the best of humanistic psychology, MI builds on the idea of the relationship between consumers and helper and combines successful use of core communication skills. The model invites a consumer to find their own reasons to change in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.
Accreditation is only offered for this course if taken live.
Educational Objectives:
After completing this activity, the participant should have been better able to:
- Name at least three (3) factors that impact behavior change;
- List at least four (4) qualities of effective helping relationships; and
- Identify at least three (3) core communication skills to enhance readiness to change.
