Motivational Interviewing (MI) has become a widely used, collaborative approach in criminal justice and related settings, helping clients safely explore their own motivations and build healthier, more self-directed lives. In this webinar, Dr. Stinson and Mr. Clark draw on their newly released second edition of Motivational Interviewing in Criminal Justice to highlight what practitioners need to know to apply MI effectively with mandated clients in traditional justice settings, child welfare, and both inpatient and outpatient programs. They will cover core elements of MI practice, ethical considerations in criminal justice treatment, effective ways to learn and master MI skills, and current research on MI outcomes, offering concrete strategies for engaging even the most resistant clients and providing a clear roadmap for initiating productive change conversations in nearly any setting.
