This one-day interactive training provides participants with practical tools to facilitate client-driven change and techniques for addressing resistance constructively. Through role-playing, group activities, and reflection, participants will leave equipped to implement MI in their practice settings.

- Understand client behavior and motivation for change.
- Apply MI as an alternative to persuasion, focusing on client-driven solutions.
