Motivational Interviewing is collaborative method for guiding conversations
about behaviour change. More than a set of techniques, MI is a discipline
in its own right that brings together a set of values, principles and
disciplined use of skills to assist people to resolve ambivalence and
deepen motivation to pursue the changes that are meaningful for them.
The training is highly interactive, with a focus on practical skill
development. The two day workshop will offer an opportunity to:

works and recent changes to the framework

Increase ability to work effectively with resistance and ambivalence
Develop strategies to continue learning and practicing MI
Reinforce learning with 16 weeks of brief follow up emails focusing on
specific aspects of MI.
The workshop is suitable for workers dealing with a wide range of
presenting issues and settings, including addictions, mental health,
chronic disease management, treatment adherence, criminal justice
and healthy behaviour change.

MI relies on the use of foundation skills used with increasing discipline and
depth. The workshop is suitable for both workers with no knowledge of MI
and for those who want to refresh and deepen their understanding and
practice of the core skills of MI.
