Culturally Informed Brief Motivational Interventions for Hispanic Communities

In this 2-hour interactive talk, you will be introduced to a process to develop three culturally-informed intervention tools, based on three common tasks to evoke personal motivation in Motivational Interviewing conversations. In this talk, you will also have opportunities to observe and practice how to incorporate these tools into a common Brief Motivational Intervention structure, with the purpose of offering more culturally sensitive interventions for clients with different cultural backgrounds, particularly in Hispanic communities.
