Monday 23 August 2010
Sebel Playford Hotel

Motivational Interviewing is a highly effective therapeutic approach to empower people to make healthy behavioural choices. It has also been found to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments when used as a prelude to that treatment. This workshop will look at how MI is effectively applied in the vocational rehabilitation and return to work (RTW) environment to achieve better outcomes.

Participants attending this MI workshop will:

• Develop an understanding of the fundamental spirit and principles of MI
• Gain up to date information regarding the research and evidence of MI
• Develop empathic counselling skills, so central to using the technique
• Experience the delivery of the MI technique through demonstration and practice and gain confidence to deliver MI in a clinical setting
• Learn when and how to use advice and other more directive elements of MI
• Observe, experience and practice elements of MI, including how MI can be used to roll with resistance, resolve ambivalence,
• encourage change and commitment talk, and help people carry through changes to health behaviours.
• Learn how MI is effectively used in a RTW context
