Module 2: Motivational Interviewing

Duration: 2 separate days: 9.30 am – 4.30 pm

Aim:
To help practitioners to take a person-centred and strength-based approach to supporting people to make changes, using a Motivational Interviewing (MI) approach.

Description
This is the second of a suite of courses which are based on Motivational Interviewing (MI) approaches. MI is widely used in the fields of health and counselling to help explore and resolve issues around intentional behaviour change. MI is a way for a practitioner to take a person-centred and collaborative approach to having a conversation with a person who is in two minds about change; which helps them to find their own reasons for change, and when ready, plan for change. The focus is on demonstrating compassion and acceptance of the individual, affirming their strengths, and on practicing reflective listening and evocative questioning. Practitioners find this MI approach to be liberating as it shifts the focus away from the practitioner finding all the solutions.

The skills and strategies are generic and can be used in any consultation about behaviour change. Although developed for use in the addictions field, MI has been applied to subjects ranging from drug use to parenting, and is increasingly used in the criminal justice field.

The course does not go into detail regarding information about healthy lifestyles, but topic specific elearning modules are available which complement this generic training.

Methods
This is a blended course. The two face to face days of the course are enhanced by short online modules, and by a reflective practice task before day 2. Creative and active learning methods will be used.
