Motivating Change: Practical Approaches to Mental Health through Motivational Interviewing

May 22, 2025 1:00 pm
Virtual Event

Join the Maryland Health Care Coalition Against Domestic Violence for a seminar presented by Cheryl Stahl, LPCC-S, Substance Use/Mental Health Program Director at the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of mental health challenges and practical techniques for using Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support individuals in making positive changes.

Through a combination of theory, and interactive exercises, attendees will learn how to effectively engage with individuals experiencing mental health struggles, foster a non-judgmental, empathetic space, and empower them to explore and resolve ambivalence toward change.

Key learning outcomes include:

  • Understanding the basics of common mental health issues and their impact on behavior.
  • Exploring the principles and spirit of Motivational Interviewing.
  • Building skills in using MI techniques to enhance motivation and promote behavioral change.
  • Strengthening communication strategies to support individuals in their mental health journey.

*Intimate partner violence advocates, health care providers, and allied professionals encouraged to attend.
