MITI Coding & Coaching

How effectively is a clinician using Motivational Interviewing (MI)? The Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) behavioral coding system helps answer this question and provides a framework for giving meaningful feedback to support continued MI skill development. This special three-day training is designed to help participants build a strong foundation in the current MITI 4.2.1, and then reconvene in 2027 (date TBD) to learn about the new version of the MITI following its release. This workshop is ideal for MI practitioners, managers, coaches, supervisors, trainers, and researchers who want to improve their MI skills, strengthen their ability to evaluate MI practice, provide effective feedback, prepare for research using the MITI, and/or supervise, support, and coach others in developing their MI skills. During the first two days, participants will learn how to use the MITI 4.2.1 to evaluate Motivational Interviewing practice and help shape feedback for improved MI skillfulness. Participants will engage in learning through well-paced, immersive, and highly interactive discussions using written materials, videos, audio recordings, exercises, and multiple opportunities to practice coding. Participants will also explore how MITI coding can inform coaching and feedback and will have opportunities to develop feedback plans for a variety of scenarios. Participants will practice delivering coding and coaching feedback. A new version of the MITI is coming! Participants will reconvene for a one-day workshop dedicated to the newly released MITI 5. Together, we'll explore what has changed from MITI 4.2.1, what the changes mean for coding and feedback, and how to begin using the new version in practice. Participants who already have experience with MITI 4.2.1 and only want to learn about the new version may register for the "New MITI" workshop separately. "Ali Hall brought a wealth of experience to the training. She made something complex easy to learn." "Loved everything about this training, would do a training with Ali any day, such a wonderful teacher and her personality is so welcoming." "I found the training to be very high-quality and insightful. The trainer did a fantastic job, keeping everyone engaged and eager to continue forward." “I gained a better understanding of the coding process and a better understanding of the MI process viewed through the lens of a coder.” "This training was above and beyond the level of excellence in terms of format. I've been to many online and in person trainings, (haven't we all?) and this one truly struck a balance between lecture and engagement. Ali's style was grounded, calming, and she consistently modeled MI in her approach, such that she was teaching even when she wasn't "teaching."
