  *Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a person-centered, guiding method of
communication and counseling to elicit and strengthen intrinsic motivation
for positive health behavior change.* First described by William Miller
(1983) and later elaborated in the classic book – Motivational
Interviewing: Helping People Change (1991, 2002, 2012) - MI offers a
practical, common sense approach for supporting clients in making and
sustaining health behavior changes.  Originally developed in the drug and
alcohol field, over 200 clinical trials demonstrate the efficacy of MI
across a range of populations, target behaviors, and medical conditions.

At its core, MI is not a unique or entirely new approach, but a combination
of principles, skills and strategies drawn from existing models of
counseling and behavior change theory.  Embracing an interpersonal style
based on empathy, collaboration, and acceptance, the MI practitioner relies
heavily on the use of strategic reflective listening as a means of
eliciting clients’ strengths, inner wisdom, reasons for change, and ways of
achieving it.

This training is for those who want to enhance their skills in behavior
change counseling, and will include a review of the "5 A's" model for
treating tobacco use and dependence.
