Helping Difficult Conversations Work Using Motivational Interviewing

Not everyone we meet will want to talk about change. In fact, it is quite
rare to immediately take action without struggling with internal questions
about our willingness, confidence or even the importance to change.
So how can we help people to change? How can we serve even the
most challenging of individuals? This session will explore methods of
having difficult conversations with positive outcomes using Motivational
Interviewing. During this session we will discuss (and practice) how to
use communication skills while addressing a crisis as well as what works
best when someone is contemplating change. This webinar will provide
an overview of Motivational Interviewing and provide opportunities to
examine methods for engaging all clients.
