Motivational Techniques

These courses are 2/3 day events focusing on introducing the background and practice of using motivational methods or focusing on developing these skills further in a specific setting. They are designed for face to face staff, managers and/or mixed groups.

The courses examine motivation in an everyday context, drawing on Miller & Rollnick’s work on Motivational Interviewing and offering insight into developments within the criminal justice field or other organisational settings. We aim to have participants practicing the core skills over the 2/3 days.

At the basic level the course considers core skills for working with behavioural change and at the advanced level extends the input to focus on arising practice issues.

Over the past 5 years we have trained almost 500 staff across the UK from various organisations in Motivational Techniques. Feedback has been very positive particularly in terms of enhanced confidence in dealing with resistance in people and helping them move on.

Please note that we also provide training for programmised interventions focused on problematic substance misuse (ASRO) and for working with difficulties around alcohol and violence (COVAID). Both programmes are designed to develop motivation for change in these important areas of work. Please follow links for further information.
