Motivational interviewing: advanced module (CPD5b)
Refine your skills further to help others to make behavioural or attitudinal change
This module is part of our motivational interviewing programme.
Motivational interviewing is a person-centred counselling style for addressing the common problem of ambivalence about change.
It’s a highly effective approach in helping people make behavioural or attitudinal change, especially with individuals who are apparently reluctant to engage or who have been coerced into changing. The approach focuses on intrinsic factors for change even when extrinsic factors, such as the court, social workers or family, have brought them to the worker.
Motivational interviewing builds a collaborative approach and has the added benefit for individuals and organisations of reducing worker stress and the risk of burn out.
It has its roots in the field of substance use but has now been successfully used in a multitude of settings, including probation and youth offending, mental health, GP and other healthcare settings, the reduction of HIV infection, Family Nurse Partnerships, pain management, improvement in recovery from stroke and increasingly in childcare settings.
Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based approach with over 1200 randomised control trials and is also helpful in reducing worker stress.
