Motivational Interviewing event at Derby
07-September-2006
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.
Fee
The fee for this event is £49 + VAT (appropriate discounts available)

The UK public service is focusing more and more on ‘evidence based’ practice to ensure value for money and value added to service provision. Guidance related organisations are also increasingly expected to provide evidence on their practices and processes and on the impact of their work.
Aims and objectives
This event will provide an overview of the published evidence on the benefits of career guidance within the UK and further a field. Delegates will be invited to reflect on existing policies and practices within their own organisation in order to help assess the range and quality of existing data. Exploration of other sources of evidence whose full potential has not yet been fully realised will be examined. The seminar will draw upon recent findings published by the Canadian Career Development Foundation that demonstrates the potential value of hidden sources of evidence on the benefits of career guidance, including that held by practitioners. Plans for a new CeGS national project, conducted in association with the Canadian Research Working Group for Evidence-based Practice in Career Development, will be outlined. Organisations will be invited to actively participate, where appropriate.
Target audience
This seminar will be appropriate for senior managers, managers, practitioners, researchers and stakeholder/social partners who have an interest in design, delivery and measurement of the outcomes of career resources and services.
Fee
The delegate fee for this event is £99 + VAT (appropriate discounts are available)
