Foundations of MI Health Coaching

The HealthSciences Institute Foundations of MI Health Coaching is an excellent distance learning option for practitioners new to MI health coaching, as well as experienced MI practitioners interested in building specialized MI health coaching skills. The webinar series may be completed alone or following the CCP program or the RHC-I MI Health Coaching Intensive.

This series is designed for clinical or nonclinical direct care or health management staff. Five, one-hour skill-building sessions organized around the 2012 Miller and Rollnick MI health coaching model framework from Motivational Interviewing (Third Edition) Helping People Change are offered. Released in 2012, the long-awaited framework offers a step-by-step process for engaging patients and facilitating health-related behavior change. In addition to reviewing this new model and its application to real world health care settings, the series includes individual and team practice activities and case studies for building concrete, practical health coaching skills.
