The Intermediate/Advanced M.I. Workshop builds on what you learned in the Intro to MI Workshop and focuses on deepening OARS skills and some basic MI coding with the MITI 4.1. You continue practicing specific skills as you do exercises, observe others, tape interactions, and collaboratively learn to broaden and deepen your MI skills.

An important aspect of the workshop is opportunity to interact with other professionals.
Our Intermediate/Advanced MI Workshop offers:
- Exercises to advance each participant’s MI proficiency.
- Enhanced confidence about how to use particular MI skills/strategies within all four processes (Engage, Focus, Evoke, Plan).
- Practice with the MITI 4.2 (a coding tool to measure MI fidelity, whether or not one is doing MI).
- Discussion of methods to teach and coach others in learning MI skills.
