The Mid-America MHTTC will provide to practitioners in the Mental Health Region of Northwest Iowa Care Connections, a six hour workshop on techniques for supervising employees who utilize motivational interviewing (MI). The training is for supervisors of practitioners using MI and is part of a two year project to develop a self-sustaining MI program in the region. This training goes beyond the Basic and Advanced classes to include instruction on reinforcing learning through reflections, modeling MI congruent communication, assessing for MI competency deficits, adjusting supervision styles, and using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Code (MITI) to evaluate and track the MI competency of staff members.
