Motivational Interviewing for Enhancing Intrinsic Motivation – Introductory Workshops

Choice of dates, 8am–4pm:
Wed 15 & Thu 16 April 2009
or
Wed 11 & Thu 12 November 2009

Motivational Interviewing is a client-centred, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. It is a model to describe how people change certain health related behaviours (such as stopping smoking or starting physical activity) and examines an individual’s own fears and difficulties in order to resolve the issue.

This workshop program will explore motivational interviewing in greater detail providing practical techniques to resolve ambivalence. Attendance on Day 1 (14 April or 10 November) is a pre-requisite to participation in days 2 and 3. Day 2 will develop further understandings and begin an exploration of the use of the technique. Day 3 will focus on enhancing skills and strategies.

The format will include formal presentations and practical workshops with opportunities for discussion. The focus will be on interactive delivery where individuals practice techniques within the sessions.
