Motivational Interviewing is a kind of client-centered counseling that can be applied to daily life. MI is about offering guiding support and understanding, instead of advice or telling someone what to do. I have been learning about this approach in my counseling classes and want to share it with all of you! In this workshop we will explore what active listening is, discuss what motivates people to either make a change or not and learn how we can be a more encouraging friend to someone. We will also define ambivalence and other key terms.
