Cardiff Motivational Interviewing Workshops
MI for Schools and other youth settings: Monday 25th November 2019
Led by Andy Williams and Stephen Rollnick
This is a first of its kind: a tailor-made workshop that addresses the use of MI in and around schools and the classroom. Andy Williams has considerable experience of teaching, often in deprived communities, and from his work as a Deputy Head of a comprehensive school, he has worked on the integration of a restorative approach and MI to bring about culture change and more. Stephen Rollnick will support him in the delivery of a workshop that is grounded in everyday classroom and conversation experience. Further details and on-line registration can be found here.
MI Intermediate workshop: Monday 27th & Tuesday 28th January 2020
Led by Stephen Rollnick
This workshop will start with an overview of the foundations of MI and its core skills. The level will be lifted via opportunity to practice, reflect and address topics like skilful advice-giving, and the internal state of the practitioner. Newcomers to MI can attend and are advised to do some preparation which we are happy to guide. Further details and on-line registration can be found here.
MI IN MENTAL HEALTH: Thursday 12th & Friday 13th March, 2020, London.
Led by Rory Allott, with Stephen Rollnick
This workshop will be run by Dr Rory Allot, supported by two presentation discussions from Prof. Stephen Rollnick. It will be of interest to anyone working with people experiencing mental health problems. You do not need any prior experience of MI, as the workshop can be used as an introduction or as a refresher. It will be of particular interest to anyone working in psychological well-being services, employment support services, Early intervention and Community Mental Health teams, where MI is a NICE recommended approach for a wide range of health damaging behaviours. Further details and on-line registration can be found here.
