In this 4-part series, participants will learn to use this coding process through self-study, telephonic didactic lectures, and group and individual practice. Those who complete this course will feel more confident in using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) Code to score audio-recorded sessions. They will also be prepared to use the MITI measurements to coach others or to provide themselves with instructive feedback on how to improve practice and work toward fidelity to the model.
Note: Participants must complete Motivational Interviewing: Relational Skills (Level 1) and Motivational Interviewing: Technical Skills (Level 2) to be eligible to attend the subsequent training in the MI series: SBIRT and Coding & Coaching (Level 3). Those who fully attend Level 1 and Level 2 will automatically receive an invitation to register to attend Level 3.
Registrants who fully attend this training will be eligible to receive 12 NAADAC certified continuing education (CE) hours. CE certificates are sent via email within two weeks after the conclusion of the training.
