This training is a skill building opportunity to help staff increase their knowledge and understanding of the value of Motivational Interviewing techniques while engaging with an individual who is considering discharge against medical advice (AMA).  This training series will cover applying practical Motivational Interviewing strategies targeting specific situations.  Previous training in MI basics is recommended prior to attending this training, but not required.  All staff and supervisors providing substances use disorder services, co-occurring disorder services, and acute inpatient services, including peer support providers are welcome to attend.
