Cultivating Change Talk, Part 2

Written by Jessica Williams | March 8, 2018

**Please note, we do not provide CEUs for viewing recorded webinars. If you are interested in receiving CEUs, you can view and register for our upcoming webinars here.**

Description

Whether in the context of a brief intervention or in an ongoing counseling relationship, when patients talk about their intrinsic motivation they’re more likely to make that change. Motivational Interviewing encourages “change talk,” language a client or patient uses that favors change. Recognizing, responding to, and eliciting change talk are three crucial skills practitioners must develop and apply to support clients or patients.

This webinar builds on the August 30, 2017 change talk webinar, but the content is accessible to anyone learning about MI.

Please note: Due to technical difficulties, the video referenced in the webinar would not play during recording. It can be viewed now.
