Webinar series: Tuesday, May 7, Tuesday, May 14, and Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at 9:30 a.m.
This training series is brought to you by the Foundational Community Supports program within the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery.
A primary obstacle to change is when we as a change agent try to move our clients further along in the process of change than they actually are. Stages of Change help us to better diagnose where someone is in the change process and help us to “meet them where they are”. Motivational Interviewing, unlike many other techniques, is designed for people who are at the earlier stages of change (Pre-contemplation, Contemplation), which is where most people are. By placing listening ahead of “fixing”, we facilitate the therapeutic relationship and come closer to a course of action that will work for the “client”.
In these webinars, facilitated by Assistant Professor at Rutgers University, Kenneth Kinter, participants will learn about Open-ended Questions, Affirmations, Reflections, and Summarizations (OARS). Participants will also learn about the types of change talk known as the DARN-C, which stands for Desire, Ability, Reason, Need, and Commitment speech.

- Describe strategies for each Stage of Change
- Describe the reason for Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Describe the Spirit and Method of Motivational Interviewing
- Detail and demonstrate the use of MI Tools (OARS)
- Detail and demonstrate Sustain and Change Talk (DARN-CAT)
