FREEBIE ALERT: MI Fidelity Worksheet

Picture

Have you been trained in MI and want to see how well you’re doing with implementing MI in your daily practice? We've created this FREE "MI Fidelity Worksheet" as a way for you to monitor the strategies you're using, not using enough, and/or would like to use more of.  Feel free to make copies and check off the list at the end of a session/group with client(s) to self-evaluate. Feel free to record your sessions and evaluate based on what you hear, and when you’re ready, take it to the next level and sign up for our next group consultation to get the coaching and support to continue to improve on your MI skills.
