NGRF - UK National Guidance Research Forum

Clients, including challenging clients, often test the skills of guidance professionals.  New methodologies, techniques and tools are often needed to provide the most effective support for clients.  'Motivational Interviewing' is one such methodology.  Originally developed for guidance for people in prisons, it has since been used for a wide range of clients, including those with drug problems.  The techniques of motivational interviewing are valuable for many clients including more “average” clients who may need support from a different model of guidance. 

Aims and objectives

This workshop will provide an introduction to the purpose and techniques of motivational interviewing.  It will enable participants to explore the optimum situations in which to use this methodology and it will review the client groups who may benefit most from this approach. 

Target audience

This workshop is appropriate for:
• guidance practitioners working with clients of all ages;
• practitioners focusing on support with challenging client groups; and
• training managers.
