Using a creative approach, and a ukulele the facilitator will discuss motivational interviewing and various tools to use when having in-depth conversations. Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based approach to behavioural change. It focuses on ‘change talk’ to determine what stage an individual is at in The Stages of Change Model. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative and goal-oriented style of communication that is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change. Motivational interviewing is a guiding style of communication that focuses on empowering individuals to change by drawing out their importance and capacity for change. It focuses on an individual’s strengths rather than weaknesses and is not a way to confront or instruct an individual on how to go about a behavioural change. Participants will gain an understanding of this approach and learn various techniques to apply in their own practice or day-to-day life. This course applies to anyone with an interest in the subject

MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood of making a real difference this training could be for you. A light lunch will be provided.
