Description

Note: Content been developed by the presenter. The training has been delivered to professionals with LE. Over the years the feedback has been highly positive from participants.

This one-day online course aims to help build confidence and strengthen core MI skills. Participants will be taught deepening reflective listening skills, listening to and interacting with change and sustain talk. This course is ideal for practitioners who have completed an introduction to Motivational Interviewing course or workshop and wish to advance their skills in practising MI.

Importance of MI Spirit
Four Processes of MI
Emphasis on Change Talk
Depth, Strength and Momentum
