WHAT IS MI?
Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based communication approach for addressing behavior change.
Motivational interviewing has been shown to be even more effective with health disparity populations and allows for flexibility across health behaviors, settings and disciplines.
Motivational interviewing training can be customized to the needs of the provider allowing these techniques to be applied to a diverse variety of practices by anyone willing to learn.
WHAT IS AMCO?
Anti-Racist Multicultural Orientation (AMCO) focuses on "ways of being" with diverse clients by focusing on three pillars:
- Cultural Humility - A lifelong process of self-reflection, self-critique, continual assessment of power imbalances, and the development of mutually respectful relationships and partnerships.
- Cultural Comfort - Relates to YOUR feelings of being at ease that arise before, during, and after culturally relevant conversations with clients.
- Cultural Opportunities - Markers that occur in any interaction with clients in which their cultural beliefs, values, or other aspects of the client's cultural identity could be explored.
