Part II – E2 Motivational Interviewing

Foundational Skills of Motivational Interviewing - Part II

Elisha Rain and Erica Mouch are registered dietitian nutritionists focused on supporting healthcare professionals find more ease and excitement in working with their clients through Motivational Interviewing (MI). They are passionate about MI, Health At Every Size® and Intuitive Eating.

This full-day, in-person training builds on the skills learned in Part I by learning and practicing the basic structure of an MI conversation. This helps provide a clear and graceful frame within which to use the basic skills you previously learned.

Part II then provides ample time to integrate the basic skills into the structure with practice activities and demonstrations.

This intensive program is geared toward healthcare practitioners who have a beginning understanding of MI and who want to deepen their practice. We have built in a variety of practice activities and techniques to cover diverse learning styles.

This Training will provide lectures, demonstration, and practice with:

The basic structure of an MI conversation, the 4 processes: engagement, focusing, engaging, and planning.

Understanding and practicing summaries.

Incorporating basic skills, and the spirit of motivational interviewing into the 4 processes.

Expansive time for role-play and practicing.
