Motivational Interviewing (MI) with Adolescents
This workshop will focus on the MI principles and skills foundational to interventions with adolescents, brief interventions utilized in the SBIRT process. The MI treatment approach, developed by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick, has been well established as an effective way to promote behavioral change in individuals. MI will be looked at as a significant intervention for drawing out the patient’s own strengths and motivations for making changes to improve their health and well-being.
