Motivational Interviewing

MI Training

Motivational interviewing is a well established behavioural and cognitive change intervention. Developed within substance misuse clinical practice, MI is now used across a broad range of clinical, educational, criminal justice and medical practice.

“Motivational interviewing is a particular way of talking with people about change and growth to strengthen their own motivation and commitment”

Miller & Rollnick, 2023
