Description
This course is fully accredited by IAOTH (International Association of Therapists) and a certificate is provided upon completion. This course gives a comprehensive interview to Motivational Interviewing, a set of tools and techniques to help people overcome barriers, make changes and achieve their goals. The course comprises of a range of lecture videos, handouts and lots of resources to help the individual solidify their learning. This is a very hands on, enjoyable and 'motivating' course that is suitable for anyone who wants to use Motivational Interviewing for the clients they work with, or perhaps they themselves want to acquire skills to overcome their own barriers to change and achievement.
One of the very valuable aspects of the course is where we look at some of the unhelpful assumptions that serve to prevent change, development and the achievement of goals, such as
1. The person ought to change behaviour
2. The person wants to change behaviour
3. Health is the person's primary motivator
4. The intervention has failed if the person doesn't
choose to change
5. Persons are either motivated to change or not
6. Now is the right time to choose to change
7. A tough approach is the best approach
Motivational Interviewing is also used frequently during staff development meetings to help the individual achieve their very best and in turn, help make the company to become more successful.
The course is taught by Kevin O'Doherty, Psychologist, Forensic Mental Health Expert Witness and CBT Therapist.
