  • Monarch Level 1+ Workshop on MI & Coaching Tools for North Bay Parry Sound DHU Health Professionals ~ May 7 & 14 2026 {viaZoom}

    7th May 2026 9:00:am – 7th May 2026 12:00:pm

    This introductory, two half-day workshop sessions, 9:00 am to 12:00 noon each day, provide a meaningful overview of MI using the Monarch System’s unique approach which integrates Motivational Interviewing (MI) with other impactful behaviour change practices such as coaching methods and key elements of behaviour change theories/applications. This event is sponsored by the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (NBPSDHU) and is restricted to health professionals in that organization. In addition, this workshop is a blend primarily of our Level 1 and some basic Level 2 MI concepts because some of the participants have some exposure to and experience with MI and seek both a review and some new MI skills and concepts. Over the two days, we will explore and help you to acquire applied techniques to use with your clients in your day-to-day practice. You will learn how to build motivation and transition that enhanced motivation into a strengthened and real commitment to healthier behaviours. We will teach you different ways to use such elements as reflective listening at 3 levels, presence, competence views, compelling questions, eliciting change talk, tagging values onto desired behaviour changes, and moving with apparent-resistance in service of your patients’ needs for long- term goal setting and commitment to change.

    3rd Dec 2026 9:00:am – 3rd Dec 2026 12:00:pm

    This advanced, 2 half-days' (Dec 3 and 10, 9:00-12:00 each day) workshop builds on either of our Introductory (Level 1 full-day/two half or 2-day intensive) MI workshops. This event is sponsored by the Windsor Essex Community Health Centre (WECHC) and is open to all Ontario residents who are either health professionals or students enrolled in a health professional program. All participants need to have completed Monarch’s Level 1 workshop or equivalent (click here to view the MI skills covered in our Level 1 course). Specifically, the Monarch System’s Level 2 offering is designed to help health practitioners work with patients/clients who are overwhelmed, stuck behaviourally, and/or are struggling to make the changes they want to make. Many clients are trapped in a view that they cannot change their behaviours, and this workshop focuses on helping clients re-frame and re-shape this experience, in service of fostering meaningful health-related behaviour changes. The workshop includes amplified MI video examples; along with additional participant MI practice; and feedback opportunities to support the immediate integration of the new advanced tools within participants’ professional and personal lives.
