Tailored Motivational Interviewing

TMI is tailored from a series of studies conducted by our academic partners at Florida State University and Wayne State University to meet the needs of adolescents and young adults, to enhance cultural competence when working with marginalized populations, and to reduce perceived racism and stigma

TMI training also reduces perception of “too much information” provided, which can lead to clients feeling lectured and disempowered
