MI: Foundational Skills
Watch this space
After initial training in Motivational Interviewing (MI), practitioners are often left to wonder “How do I advance these skills in everyday practice?” and “Am I doing MI?”. Motivational Interviewing is a skill that improves with practice and work sample based objective feedback. To help facilitate moving towards greater proficiency in MI, we designed this innovative, one-day online session to build your understanding, skills and confidence. This interactive training will combine discussion, experiential activities, skills assessment and self-reflection to encourage practitioner growth at all levels of experience.
Dr Joel Porter (New Zealand) is an internationally known MINT Certified MI Trainer and will take an exploratory approach to expand thinking and sharpen focus regarding MI concepts, skills and applications. Joel will integrate a range of converging concepts to design and facilitate powerful learning experience. Come expecting to learn something new, try something different, and walk away feeling confident, energized and challenged.
