Motivational Interviewing in Diabetes Care - 6 Contact Hours

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence based clinical tool used to help people make decisions about change.  Improving one’s health after a diagnosis of diabetes often requires individuals to make significant behavioral change. Despite the obvious health benefits of change, it’s common for people to experience ambivalence and hesitation.  This course will provide an overview of the theory, skills, and practice of Motivational Interviewing in the morning, and then in the afternoon provide hands on practice and guidance using Motivational Interviewing skills. Health care professionals can learn how to apply Motivational Interviewing to engage patients in making their own arguments for change and also their own plans for managing their diabetes.

                                

Overall goal: Participants will have a basic understanding of motivational interviewing and be able to apply techniques in work with patients having diabetes.

 

By the end of this interactive course, participants will be able to:

 

1. Define Motivational Interviewing
2. Understand the need for Motivational Interviewing in diabetes care
3. Understand and identify client language as types of change talk
4. Understand how reflections and questions are used to guide clients towards change talk
5. Demonstrate ability to use Motivational Interviewing through role-play exercises particular to diabetes care.
