Together we will learn how MI can be used at each stage of change, from pre-contemplation and contemplation, to preparation, action and maintenance. You will learn how to apply the method of MI with your own clients, by harnessing their own internal motivations to change. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence based practice which is essential for peer and family support specialists.
