Motivational Interviewing

This workshop focuses on using motivational interviewing (MI) techniques to support survivors of violence in exploring personal goals and enhancing their sense of agency. Participants will learn the basic concepts related to Motivational Interviewing: Empowerment, compassion, partnership, acceptance.  Participants will also practice the four basic skills of MI: Open ended questioning, affirming, reflective listening, and summarizing.

Through hands-on exercises and role-play scenarios, attendees will practice skills to help clients find their inner strengths and take steps toward healing. By the end, participants will be equipped with tools to apply MI in a trauma-sensitive manner, tailored specifically to the needs of survivors.
