This practical and experiential workshop on zoom will introduce the theory and practice of Motivational Interviewing, or Motivational Enhancement therapy, and the Stages of Change Model of Prochaska and DiClemente. It will include group discussion, theory and video examples.

We aim to give participants some insight into the obstacles to change, and a chance to look at what works, what might not work, and why.

There will be time in this workshop for individuals in pairs to explore a simple behaviour they might want to change, and to use this model to help them understand relapse and the obstacles they have encountered in the past.

This is an exercise in self-awareness rather than a therapeutic intervention. Participants will be reminded to practice self-care, and to choose behaviours with low emotional intensity.

CPD certificates are available.
