Motivational interviewing (MI) is a communication style focused on enhancing clients’ own motivation towards change. In the justice system MI has evidence to support that it enhances communication and change behaviors in youth. As most MI training is designed for healthcare settings training and implementation of MI must be adapted to fit the juvenile justice model. This includes both rehabilitation and restorative justice. Here we describe the details that allowed one county small county in Pennsylvania to roll out MI training and initial skills review in less than 6 months. The case reviews the details of planning, trainings, and timing of activities. We then discuss what elements of those details fit into a greater implementation plan that may be applied elsewhere. Four key elements were instrumental to implementation: 1) appreciation of JPO time constraints, 2) cost containment 3) using blending to enhance JPO flexibility with MI use, and 4) policies that normalize use of MI. This outline may assist other courts in their own implementation efforts.

少年司法中的MI实施：一个案例报告

动机面试（MI）是一种沟通方式，旨在增强客户自己的变革动力。在司法系统中，MI有证据支持它增强了青少年的交流和改变行为。由于大多数MI培训都是针对医疗机构设计的，因此必须对MI的培训和实施进行调整以适合少年司法模型。这包括康复和恢复性司法。在这里，我们描述了允许宾夕法尼亚州一个县的一个县在不到6个月的时间里开展MI培训和初始技能审查的细节。该案例审查了计划，培训和活动时间的详细信息。然后，我们讨论这些细节的哪些元素适合于可能在其他地方应用的更大的实施计划。四个关键要素有助于实施：1）理解JPO时间限制； 2）成本控制； 3）使用混合来增强JPO与MI使用的灵活性；以及4）规范MI使用的策略。该大纲可以帮助其他法院自己执行工作。
