SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing
DESCRIPTION:What will it cover?\nMotivational Interviewing is more than just a technique – it’s a powerful\, person-centred approach to communication that helps people explore their own motivations for change. Grounded in empathy\, curiosity\, and collaboration\, MI is especially effective in roles where behaviour change\, support\, or guidance is part of your everyday work. \nThis interactive training will explore how MI can be practically applied in your role\, equipping you with tools to support others in navigating ambivalence and moving towards meaningful change. \nTogether\, we’ll look at: \n\nThe core principles and spirit of MI\, including compassion\, acceptance\, partnership\, and evocation\nThe MI framework\, known as the Four Processes: Engaging\, Focusing\, Evoking and Planning\nHow to identify and respond to Change Talk and Sustain Talk to help build momentum towards positive action\nPractical communication tools such as OARS (Open Questions\, Affirmations\, Reflections\, and Summaries) to enhance conversations\nHow to give advice in an MI-consistent way using the Elicit-Provide-Elicit method – avoiding the “righting reflex”\nReal-life scenarios and exercises to help embed MI in your daily practice\n\nWhether you’re supporting clients\, mentoring staff\, or working with people through change\, MI offers a respectful and empowering framework for building motivation and working together towards solutions. \n£50.00 \n\nWhen is it?\n\nWednesday 27th January 2027 from 9.30am – 1.30pm (in-person at Watford Wellbeing Centre)
