This session focuses on recognizing, evoking, and strategically reinforcing “change talk” – the self-motivational statements most strongly associated with behavior change. Participants will practice MI skills that strengthen intrinsic motivation, build momentum, and support people in moving toward their own meaningful, self-defined goals. Three Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW, LCSW, LPC, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.
