The Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers Incorporated (MINT)
is now accepting applications for the 2010 Motivational Interviewing:
Training New Trainers (TNT) workshop
to be held in San Diego, California, October 4 - 6, 2010. There will be
3 simultaneous TNT
workshops: all 3 conducted in English.
Purpose:
In these intensive 3-day advanced workshops, proficiency in
motivational interviewing (MI) is
assumed as a starting point, and the focus is on trainer skills and
exercises to facilitate the
learning of MI and its adaptations. Trainings are designed to prepare
human services
professionals to teach and train these clinical methods, which have
been shown to be effective
in enhancing behavior and outcomes. Participants will learn a
well-developed, sequenced and
integrated set of strategies for teaching clinical skillfulness in MI
across various settings.
Participants will develop and practice strategies for teaching MI
skills.
The workshops are intended to prepare trainers to:
* Explain the conceptual rationale and background research for this
approach
* Teach the basic clinical skills of motivational interviewing
* Strengthen reflective listening skills
* Teach brief negotiation strategies for use in health care settings
* Teach recognition, elicitation, and reinforcement of change talk
* Strengthen skills in rolling with resistance
* Teach negotiation of change plans
* Demonstrate the clinical methods and conduct role-play training
* Employ a range of innovative training techniques and exercises
* Apply the methods to a variety of settings
Enrollment for the workshops will be limited to 120 participants (40 in
each section). Early
registration (after receiving Notification of Acceptance) is advised as
enrollment for the annual
MI-TNT event closes quickly (see TNT Requirements on how to qualify and
how to apply).
After successfully completing a three-day TNT, participants are
eligible for membership in the
international Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers
Incorporated (MINT), a nonprofit
organization devoted to supporting quality in the dissemination of MI.
Certificates of
Participation will be issued upon completion of the TNT workshop,
although MINT d
oes
not formally approve, certify or license trainers. Participants who
cannot commit to the full
three-days of this training should wait to apply for a future TNT. For

Incorporated, visit the MI website at: www.motivationalinterview.org.
