This document outlines the agenda for Week 1 of a Motivational Interviewing course. The week will include introductions, an article on what MI is not, a discussion of the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change, exploring ambivalence and motivation, and the spirit of MI. Participants will discuss practical skills they want to learn and key points from the introductory article. They will also be assigned a learning activity for Week 2 where they interview someone about a behavior change and explore what motivated the change and any barriers that were overcome.
