Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based approach that supports individuals to explore the possibility of making positive, healthy and pro-social changes in their lives.  The research states that it is one of the most effective and accessible approaches that helps to increase motivation to change and actualise a move into long-term sustainable actions.  While rarely is one approach a panacea, MI has been recognised as a very effective way to align practitioners delivering interventions within a person-centred, guiding and evoking style of working.

This taster workshop will allow participants to explore the underlying principles of Motivational Interviewing and consider whether this approach would complement their practice with a view to ascertaining interest in further learning.
