About This Module
Building on the foundation provided in the online modules (Introduction to Health and Wellness Coaching for Community Health Workers, Introduction to Motivational Interviewing, and Motivational Interviewing for Clients with Common Health Conditions), this activity will engage all participants to practice their skills. It begins with a very brief review of the fundamental processes of Motivational Interviewing (Engaging, Focusing, Evoking and Planning), stages of change, and the OARS approach (5-10 minutes).
Attendees will be invited to describe a ‘typical' client they have or may serve in their role as a coach. Using that scenario, participants will share examples of open-ended vs. closed-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries. We will explore how the Community Health Worker establishes rapport and a collaborative relationship, helps the client focus on what is most important to them, builds confidence and plans to take action to make a change.
Approximate time to complete the course: 2 hours
