Cultivating Change Talk, Part 2
**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.
