Using the framework of this scoring and feedback technique\, training participants will practice effective coaching and supervisory skills to help team leaders\, managers and supervisors work with their staff to incorporate their MI skills more often and consistently. There will be an emphasis on MI interview rating systems and general interview rating etiquette. Participants will discuss how to use feedback to coach supervisees\, practical guidelines for MI supervision\, how to code in a manner that enhances clinical supervision and implementation considerations.\nTime/Duration: Virtual Classroom meets online via Zoom or Google Meet from 8:30 – 4:00 (14 hours) for 2 consecutive days.
