PROVIDING SUPERVISION March 30-April 1, 2009 I now offer a 3 day workshop focused on coding of interviews using the MITI and providing supervision via the use of an adaptation of the MIA STEP supervisory format. In this workshop, the principles of providing supervision in an MI consistent format are discussed, interviews are scored from the supervisory and supervisee perspective, as well as the MITI, and practice sessions are conducted in providing supervision.

MI COACHING--TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONGOING SUPERVISION OF YOUR MI PROGRESS VIA COACHING For individuals and agencies with previous MI training either with me or another MI trainer, I offer ongoing coaching/supervision in the application of MI. Generally, this coaching takes place by phone. You can arrange for individual or group coaching. Please email me at cathy@cathycoletraining for more information.
MI FOLLOW UP DISTANCE SUPERVISION GROUP: Look for details on this in the December newsletter. Research shows that after an initial training there is a spike in application of MI that then deteriorates to baseline after 4 months if there is no follow up supervision or consultation.
THE PATH FOR BECOMING A TRAINER FOR MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING If you are considering becoming a trainer in MI, you will be expected to demonstrate proficiency in MI. Applications are reviewed for indication of both introductory and advanced MI training as well as supervision of MI fidelity. I am able to assist you in all of these areas.
ADOPTING THE MI PRINCIPLES ON AN AGENCY LEVEL
The fullest implementation of MI is achieved when staff are trained in the use
of
MI and all of the operation of the agency is consistent with MI principles. I
offer
consultation that will assess all levels of function in the agency, from how the
phones are answered, clients greeted, intake achieved and provide guidance
in making changes to incorporate MI into the full process of work. At a
recent
workshop, a staff member, responding to a crisis, remarked that he was able
to
handle the situation more effectively by using MI as an approach. A
receptionist
remarked that she now would use MI in her client interactions.
Please email me at cathy@cathycoletraining for more information and
proposal tailored to your agency.
ABOUT MY WORKSHOPS: I have provided MI training since 1995, following my training with Drs. Miller and Rollnick. My teaching approach is very pragmatic, focusing on the core concepts of MI and allowing the learning to progress from direct practice.
I have elected to limit the size of my workshops in order to maximize the opportunity to provide learning that can both address the concepts and practice of Motivational Interviewing while at the same time assist in the application of MI to each participant's work setting.
Onsite training is limited to 15 participants for Supervising MI, Advanced and Introductory MI.

Welcome to Motivation News, a newsletter devoted to clinical information on the use of a Motivational Interviewing (MI) approach to change. The authors of this approach, William Miller, PhD and Stephen Rollnick, PhD define MI as a 'client centered, directive method for enhancing an intrinsic motivation for change by exploring and resolving ambivalence". This collaborative approach to working with clients has wide application in mental health, the justice system, addictions, health care and health education. Information in this newsletter is taken from various source material from the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers and specifically from the book Motivational Interviewing, Preparing People for Change; Miller and Rollnick, 2nd edition, 2002, Guilford Press. Additional source material: Motivational Interviewing in the Treatment of Psychological Problems, ed. Arkowitz, Westra, Miller, and Rollnick, Guilford 2007; Motivational Interviewing In Health Care, Rollnick, Miller, and Butler, Guilford, 2007.
