This popular evidence based approach has been around for nearly 30 years and been taken up by a wide range of practitioners in health and social care fields.

The NewLink Wales course will provide a clear understanding of the goals, concepts, processes and skills of Motivational Interviewing, along with a chance to practice the skills with pre-prepared scenarios and your own material. Furthermore it provides an opportunity to identify, distinguish and encourage the types of language that predict behaviour change whilst offering a chance to explore how workers and clients contribute to discord in the relationship (formerly described as ‘resistance’). Lastly it will enable individuals to reflect on the different types of settings and behaviour changes this approach can be utilised with and enable an opportunity to evaluate the potential effectiveness of applying this approach in your work.
