What is motivational interviewing?
“Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to, a specific goal, by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion” (Miller & Rollnick, 2012).
This workshop is the next step for people who have already attended the 2-day Motivational Interviewing (MI) workshop with the training designed as a step-up to further develop participants’ skill and confidence in the practical application of MI.
The workshop will invite and challenge participants to look deeper, to use more complex reflections, to be more attuned and strategic in their evocation of, and responses to, change to talk and to reflect on their own practice. Experiential exercises, live demonstration, audio, video, and coaching will be used to develop participants MI skills and confidence. In this workshop it will be assumed that all participants having completed the 2-day training are familiar with the spirit, processes, and skills of MI.
Those attending this workshop must have already attended the Motivational Interviewing two-days of training. If you have not already completed these workshops, please visit the website for the dates, locations and workshop information.
