Motivational Interviewing

This session will discuss motivational interviewing: a client centered, goal oriented communication style that focuses on change. Motivational interviewing supports care coordination efforts, as it builds and strengthens the client’s personal motivation and commitment to a specific health or behavioral goal leading to long term client outcomes. The presenter will cover the essentials of motivational interviewing and ways to incorporate this communication style into care coordination practice. In addition, there will be time to network with peers from care settings across the region.
