The document outlines a workshop led by Dr. Marilyn Herie focused on advancing motivational interviewing (MI) practices, including self-assessment and training on key MI skills such as open questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries (OARS). It emphasizes the importance of engaging clients through various processes and recognizes the value of the client's perspectives and motivations for change. Participants will gain techniques to respond to both 'change talk' and 'sustain talk' to enhance client motivation.
