Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented method of communication with particular attention to the language of change. The Center for Applied Behavioral Health offers training, coaching and coding services.
MI is intended to strengthen personal motivation for achieving a goal by eliciting and exploring an individual's own arguments for change. This evidenced-based practice is used in numerous settings including:
- Addictions and mental health care
- Primary care
- Emergency rooms
- Public health care
- Criminal justice and reentry
- Street outreach and shelters
- Child welfare

With our innovative and secure MI Portal, you may upload video and audio samples for review, coaching, and fidelity checks to improve your Motivational Interviewing techniques.
