Motivational Interviewing – Part 2

This 60-minute virtual training expanded upon foundational concepts introduced in Part 1, shifting from theory to applied practice. The session focused on practical techniques that health center staff can integrate into brief patient interactions—especially in cancer screening conversations, chronic disease management, and high-volume clinical settings. Key concepts included identifying and responding to change talk and sustain talk, the OARS framework, applying DARN-CAT to activate motivation, creating SMART goals, and integrating micro-MI strategies into real-world workflows.
