Advancing Motivational Interviewing Understanding and Skills
Brisbane, Melbourne, Christchurch, Auckland
|
After initial training in Motivational Interviewing (MI), practitioners are often left to wonder, “How do I advance these skills in everyday practice?”
Motivational Interviewing is a skill that improves with practice and feedback. To help facilitate moving towards greater proficiency in MI, we designed this innovative, one-day session to build understanding and skills. This interactive training will combine brief didactics, discussion, experiential activities, and self-reflection to encourage practitioner growth at all levels of experience. Drs David Rosengren (USA) and Joel Porter (Australia), internationally known trainers in MI, will take an exploratory approach to expand thinking and sharpen focus regarding MI concepts, skills and applications. They will integrate concepts from positive psychology, cognitive science and grit to design and facilitate powerful learning experiences. Come expecting to learn something new, try something different, and walk away feeling energized and challenged. Click on he following links for more detail: |

The role of Motivational Interviewing in working with family violence
|
"Resolving ambivalence and developing motivation is a key aspect of engagement into Men’s Behaviour Change (MBC) programs."
Given that most men referred to programs are mandated either formally or informally through pressure from family, friends or significant others in their lives, then this is even more critical. Even those who appear willing at the start can push back once confronted with having to change behaviour.
Ken McMaster (NZ) and Helen Mentha (Australia), internationally known trainers in MI, will take an exploratory approach to expand thinking and sharpen focus regarding MI concepts, skills and applications in relation to intervention in family violence. Working with those mandated to attend interventions creates it own challenging dynamic. In order to ensure safety in the longer term, both engagement and retention in programs is critically important. In this workshop we will work with a number of strategies that have proven useful in engagement. If you are interested, you can find more information and registration details by CLICKING HERE.
