The Mid-America MHTTC will provide a six hour workshop on advanced techniques in motivational interviewing (MI) to practitioners in the Mental Health Region of Northwest Iowa Care Connections. The training is part of a two year project to develop a self-sustaining MI program in the region and is designed for practitioners of MI who are familiar with basic techniques and wish to gain further skills. This advanced training will include instruction on reflecting critically on one's practice, addressing ambivalence, increasing treatment seeking behavior, using setbacks as learning opportunities, and supporting other professionals using MI.
