Motivational Interviewing

This interactive, lighthearted online, live study day is suitable for any and all members of the team. Delegates will interact, participate and influence the content of the day which will use bespoke situations to demonstrate the MI skills and they will not be asked to role play or listen to us reading through endless power point slides.

If you spend your life explaining what your service users should, could, must or need to do then this is the course for you. Motivational interviewing is a style of communication that uses a guiding/reflective style to engage with people, clarify their strengths and aspirations, and utilise their own motivations for change, and promote independence of decision making.

Who is this event aimed at?

Clinical staff - all healthcare professionals

What will attendees learn at this event / workshop?

There are differing approaches to the wording of the stages involved in MI but all focus on the basic premise of:

• Resisting the urge to offer solutions

• Understanding where the individual is in relation to awareness of their condition/ treatment options

• Listening to the individual’s expressed opinions and thoughts, and then

• Encouraging engagement to support whatever next steps need to be made to move them into a better position as understood by them - not the health professional.
