Presenter: Dale Kuehl | Advanced Practice Clinical Leader 

Date: Tuesday August 25 | 10am-3pm 

Do you struggle to understand a client’s motivation or lack thereof? Have you found yourself more invested in the goal than the client? Do you want to understand the concepts of ambivalence, readiness and strategies to avoid the Righting Reflex? Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered, evidence-based counselling approach to working with clients ambivalent about making a change. Since its development in the 1990s, it has been successfully applied in education, employment, healthcare, social service settings.

By the end of the session participants will be able to:

1. Define motivational interviewing
2. Understand key concepts: ambivalence, readiness, change talk, sustain talk
3. Building motivation to change and goal setting
4. Apply the tools and strategies through roleplays, case studies, small & large group discussions
