SUMMARY:A TASTE OF MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (ONLINE SCOTLAND WIDE)
DESCRIPTION:This 2 hour trainer-led session provides a basic overview of Motivational Interviewing (MI) practice which may be of interest to those looking to develop an awareness of this evidence-based method.

Please note. this session is not designed to be a training course in Motivational Interviewing and will not increase the skilfulness of participants in the practice of Motivational Interviewing. The aim is to acquaint participants with the basic concepts and method of Motivational Interviewing. \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes  \n\n\n\nBy the end of the session\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n· Discuss the nature of ambivalence about change.  \n\n\n\n· Discuss the underlying spirit of Motivational Interviewing practice.  \n\n\n\n· Discuss how Motivational Interviewing can influence motivation toward change.
