Motivational Interviewing Skills Training

Please Note: Due to Covid 19, the Christchurch workshops on the 11 & 12 May have been postponed to 3 & 4 August 2020.

“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).

The aim of this interactive workshop is to give participants the opportunity to experience the basics of MI and decide the level of interest in learning more and provide participants with a more in-depth understanding of the style of MI, and how to continue applying it in practice.
