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 Middlesex London Health Unit (MLHU) 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 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.
