Course Name: Motivational Interviewing Training: Intermediate

Location: Trinity College Dublin

Start Date: 21 & 22 October 2024

Duration: 2 Days (in person)

Course Info:                                      

This two day interactive/experiential-based training is designed to build on previous knowledge of M.I. There are two particular areas of focus: ‘Complex Reflections’ and ‘Change Talk’. A person who talks about the benefits of change is more likely to make that change, whereas a person who argues and defends the status quo is more likely to continue his or her problematic behaviour (Miller & Rollnick, 2013). Effective use of ‘Complex Reflections’, in addition to a certain provider style, predicts decisions to change even during brief conversations. Clients may arrive with a certain range of readiness, but what the practitioner says beyond that makes a difference in how the person speaks, thinks, and ultimately chooses to act (Stinson & Clark, 2017).

Learning Outcomes

1. Enhanced understanding and application of ‘Complex Reflections’
2. Identification and active promotion of ‘Change Talk’
3. An ability to share information and ideas using Motivational Interviewing
4. A sound knowledge of bias and strategies needed to avoid roadblocks to change
5. Identification of future learning pathways
