Overview
In this course, MI trainer Cathy Cole, LCSW, outlines the basic principles of MI known as the “MI Spirit,” and together with colleague Nikki Cockern, PhD, demonstrates how to apply these principles in 4 sessions with high school and college-age teens dealing with serious health issues: HIV, weight management, Type 1 diabetes, and risky sexual behavior.
Covering the four MI processes, change talk and sustain talk, and “the righting reflex”—our natural yet ill-advised urge to “fix” our clients—Cole emphasizes the method’s nonjudgmental, client-centered nature.
In sessions with Sean, Carlotta, Olga, and Missy, you’ll observe how to use MI to manage risk, communicate nonjudgment, deepen rapport, and draw out your clients’ innate strengths. This video also offers realistic commentary, in which Cole discusses both the successes and the challenges of each session and how to work with your own righting reflex.
You will see why MI is so widely adopted in health-care settings and how its spirit of collaboration reduces resistance and promotes adolescent interest in change.
What’s Included
Motivational Interviewing expert Cathy Cole offers practical tools to help you support and empower adolescents dealing with health concerns, in the spirit of attunement and partnership. You’ll watch Cole and her colleague apply MI to four engaging sessions with teenage clients, and you’ll learn strategies for applying these skills in your own practice.
Cole begins with an overview of MI’s key principles. You’ll learn about the “MI Spirit”; the open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries (otherwise known as OARS) that comprise MI’s skill set; the four MI processes of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning; change talk and sustain talk; and “the righting reflex.”
In sessions with Sean, Carlotta, Olga, and Missy, you’ll observe how to use MI to manage risk, communicate nonjudgment, deepen rapport, and draw out your clients’ innate strengths.
This course also includes realistic commentary, in which Cole discusses both the successes and the challenges of each session and then discusses how to work with your own “righting reflex” to clinical benefit.
Motivational Interviewing for Adolescent Health Behavior is a necessary resource for clinicians who want proven strategies for using MI with teens, health issues, or even the general population.
