Description

As a follow up from the Foundation Skills workshop, this one-day course offers an opportunity to refresh, consolidate and deepen understanding of MI and practical application of the model after a period of putting the skills into practice.

This workshop provides participants to practice core skills in a positive learning environment with coached feedback. The aim is to have fun revisiting the skills, and gain more focus in their ongoing practice. The workshop extends the foundation skills training, including deepening reflections, exploring the role of values and working with change talk.

The workshop is suitable for workers who have prior training in MI (or completed the MI Foundation Skills training).
