Have you completed a two-day Foundation Skills course in Motivational Interviewing?
Are you looking for a chance to refresh your MI skills, consolidate learning and look for your next steps in learning MI? Then this one-day professional development workshop may be for you.
Perhaps you enjoyed meeting MI, but the details are getting fuzzy. Or you’ve been using the skills and are curious to check in with how you’re going. Or maybe you’re looking for the next step in developing your use of MI in practice.
While MI offers practical and accessible skills to try from the outset, the approach takes time and practice to make the most of its potential to help us have more meaningful and productive conversations about change.
Overview
This workshop provides participants to practice core skills in a positive learning environment with coached feedback. The aim is to have fun revisiting the skills, and gain more focus in their ongoing practice.
The workshop extends the foundation skills training, including deepening reflections, exploring the role of values and working with change talk.
The learning objectives include:
- Refresh and deepen your understanding of the MI framework
- Learn from observation and small group practice
- Deepen understanding of guiding within a client-centred approach
- Practice core component skills, such as developing useful complex reflections within change conversations
- Practice identifying core personal values and their relevance to the change process
- Practice working with change talk
- Develop strategies to monitor our use of the skills and continue to develop after the workshop is over.
Workshop details
The workshop will be held online via Zoom, providing break-out rooms for small group discussion and skills practice. Workshop numbers will be limited to create a comfortable and personalised learning environment.
