Review the video, Introduction to Motivational Interviewing, linked in Resources. Each scenario provides examples of how a motivational interviewing approach opens the dialogue for change. Create a scenario for short dialog that might happen between a counselor and client with at least a moderate substance use disorder.  Note – If you are an MFCT learner, your scenario will include the identified client with a substance use disorder presenting with a partner or family member. •Begin by presenting an event has precipitated them to present for treatment. •Script how clients describe their ambivalence toward change and how the counselor might respond. •Be certain to include a two-sided reflection.
