What is MI?

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is "a particular way of talking with people about change and growth to strengthen their own motivation and commitment."  (Miller & Rollnick, 2023). Providers who are trained in MI learn how to effectively communicate with others to both evoke wisdom and share  their own expertise effectively.  MI has been used in a number of settings with various populations and has been found to be effective in facilitating behavior change.
