Workshop Description:
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, goal-oriented conversation which pays particular attention to the language of change.
MI is designed to strengthens personal motivation and commitment for change or growth and can be useful to increase client motivation and engagement in the therapeutic process.
This interactive one-day workshop is informed by latest developments in and understandings of MI.
The workshop will include a summary of the research evidence for the efficacy of MI and the mechanisms of change within MI, as well as MI understandings of ambivalence and resistance, and how to work with these.
