It enhances the client’s motivation to change by helping to explore and resolve ambivalence. In this training you will learn to:

  • Assess readiness to change using the stages of change
  • Assess client’s barriers to implementing health recommendations by using MI skills
  • Change your language to empower your clients and build collaboration into an actionable plan
