Motivational Interviewing: Beyond the basics (2 days)
Format Workshop
Presenters Helen Mentha
Description Beyond the Basics is a practice-based workshop to deepen and extend learning from the Foundation Skills course.

With minimal lecture-based learning, this workshop provides participants to practice core skills in a positive learning environment with coached feedback. While there is a core structure, the content of the two days is flexible to best meet the needs of the group.

Participants are encouraged to discuss experiences of applying MI in their work and challenges in using the approach in a safe learning environment, while continuing to develop confidence in using different elements of the model.

The workshop extends the foundation skills training, including use of summarising to consolidate and focus conversations about change, deepening reflections, exploring the role of values and working with commitment.

the MI framework
 Discuss experiences of using MI & the challenges in
guiding conversations about possible change.
