Important Considerations • Adolescence is about identity. • Autonomy issues are powerful. • The adolescent brain is still developing. • Adolescent culture and values are different than adult culture and values. Lunievicz/MI/
Why not just change? • Keep in mind the family dynamics adolescents go home to: • Do their parents use? • Were they born addicted? • Are they safe? • Have they witnessed the unimaginable? • Are there co-occuring mental health issues? • Are there learning disabilities? • How early did they start using?

Impact of Communication Lunievicz/MI/
Open Ended Questions • Who, what, where, when • Tell me about… • How did you… • Redirect: Now tell me about… Lunievicz/MI/
Open-ended Examples: • What worries you about your current situation? • What difficulties have you had with your drug use? • What do you think will happen if you don’t change? • How has your anger interfered with your life? • What would your life be like 5 years from now? Lunievicz/MI/
Practice: Open-ended Questions Interview your partner by asking only open ended questions. Buzzer sounds whenever a closed ended question is asked. Lunievicz/MI/
Affirm (but don’t flatter) • Strengths based technique • Verbally supports or validates a participant’s thoughts, emotions, or actions • Demonstrates: Appreciation, Understanding, Support • When you see a strength, notice it Lunievicz/MI/
Affirmation Example: 1. Participant arrives on time for his case management appointment. “You’re punctual. That will be a big help in this program.” 2. Participant: “I don’t want to do anything more than I need to. I just want to finish the program and get on with my life.” “Determination is a good characteristic to have in treatment. It will help to keep you focused.” Lunievicz/MI/
Practice: Affirming Read the statement to your partner and your partner must respond with a strength’s based affirmation. Lunievicz/MI/
