Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative conversation for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment to change. It elicits the person's own reasons for change (Change Talk) within an non-judgemental atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.
You'll be supervised by MINT (Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers) members, you'll focus,
learn, discuss, practise and improve MI skills in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
Training sessions are bespoke to your organisation, your needs and your role specific examples. You will become a more confident MI practitioner. Use MI to help your patients/clients to become the best they can be.
