Due to the small classroom size, attendees will receive essential one-on-one coaching from the trainer. At the completion of the training, attendees will be able to describe the "Spirit" of Motivational Interviewing as well as the major techniques and strategies, learn to overcome client resistance while eliciting behavior change, and practice strategic interventions to help increase clients' commitment to change. In addition, any Californian MFT or MSW registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences can earn 14 continuing education credits.
