  • Level 1 ~ Applied Motivational Interviewing & Coaching Tools for WECHC Health Professionals

    Online

    This introductory, two half-days (9-12 each day) Level 1 Monarch Motivational Interviewing (MI) workshop sessions provide a meaningful overview of MI using the Monarch System’s unique approach which integrates 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 Windsor Essex Community Health Centre (WECHC) and is open to all health professionals residing in Ontario. During this workshop day, 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. This is a very participant < > facilitator interactive workshop format that develops real MI skills and tools that can be immediately integrated into your professional toolkit.
