Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidenced-based approach to create collaborative, goal oriented dialog with an individual to help them identify their readiness for positive changes within their own means. Along with being used as a clinical intervention for substance use and therapy, MI has been used in a wide-range of professions such as health care, corrections, and prevention.

Curriculum highlights include:

• Motivational Interviewing: The Science of Human Behavior Change
• Change conversations and the Spirit of MI
• Resistance Examined: Resistance-lowering techniques
• Engagement: Creating the partnership so critical for change
• Focus: What is the horizon? Setting up change targets, especially when your target is not shared

CEUs:

Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services has been approved by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board to offer continuing education credit hours to Counselors and Social Workers (Provider #RCS111304) and has approved this training for 11 hours of Continuing Education.

In order to ethically provide CEUs, we use a platform that generates attendance time reports. We must have a total time in attendance for each participant in order to issue CEUs and the CEUs issued are based on the total amount of time accumulated between the time an attendee joins and the time the attendee logs off. We are ethically bound to report the accumulated amount of time a participant attended,

therefore we cannot issue CEUs to:

• Individuals sharing a monitor, computer, and/or login
• Individuals joining by audio phone only

CEUs will be adjusted to the nearest quarter hour to reflect the amount of time present for sessions over 60 minutes in length.
