TRAINING SUMMARY & OBJECTIVES 

Training Summary: 

This is an intermediate course developed for case managers who have a basic understanding of motivational interviewing (MI). This course will provide practical skills and strategies to support the knowledge gained from an introductory MI course. Participants will increase their understanding of open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries (OARS). The content explores each interviewing technique in-depth to enhance the case manager’s tool kit of MI responses with their clients. Participants will be able to apply the tools learned in this course to establish reports, collaboration, and understanding for their current clients. This training has many activities, handouts, and videos to support all learning styles. The material will be delivered by PowerPoint presentation, short video clips, group discussion, breakout (small group) discussions and participant workbook (handout).
