Description: The opportunities associated with the act of gambling presents clients with motivational challenges. On one hand they find themselves pulled toward gambling, for the range of opportunities it offers. On the other hand they fight against this pull, as they face, at times, the devastating consequences of gambling. Motivational Interviewing (MI) allows the counselor to examine this process in collaboration with the client, facilitating change, and improving treatment commitment and outcomes. Please join us for this webinar as we review elements of MI and how it can be particularly helpful in the treatment of Gambling Disorder.

Learning Objectives:

• Review the spirit of Motivational Interviewing.
• Review the role of both the therapist and client in the process of change.
• Review several therapeutic interventions, and how they can be used to effect change.
