Overview: Motivational Interviewing – MI – is an empirically-supported approach for helping people resolve ambivalence and move forward with behavioural change. MI is an evidence-based practice within many healthcare fields such as chronic disease management, mental health, and addictions, and is applied to criminal justice, child protection, and school environments.

The use of MI has shown to increase treatment adherence and retention, and it takes less time than other recognized treatment models (which results in better outcomes and improved client/patient care and flow). MI is a trauma-informed approach and is used to develop and strengthen trauma-informed systems of care.

The Certificate in Motivational Interviewing provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical background and the relational and technical aspects of MI. This Certificate program will offer a strong emphasis on practicing MI skills and strategies with feedback for skill improvement. Adding opportunities for personal performance feedback – from practice recordings and individual coaching – will significantly increase the effectiveness of training in helping participants improve their clinical proficiency.
