Clinicians who can benefit from this workshop include physicians, nurses, social workers, psychotherapists, addiction counsellors, psychologists, pharmacists and physiotherapists.
This workshop provides clinicians with opportunities to reflect on their role as facilitators of change and practice specific skills.
Join the workshop and learn how to structure a conversation, so that a patient or client is motivated to take responsibility for implementing new, healthy behaviours.
Studies have shown that using these conversational skills will improve the health of the patient or client and improve the job satisfaction of the healthcare provider.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Describe two models of behaviour change that can guide conversations with patients and clients.
2. Demonstrate the three motivational interviewing skills.
3. Describe the motivating elements of a visit with a patient or client.
4. Put into practice two techniques to use in clinical settings to influence change.
The workshop is experiential. Participants will be given the opportunity to practice their skills in break-out groups. Handouts will be provided. Space is limited. The workshop is limited to 25 participants.
This workshop will be provided through Zoom. So, you can connect to the workshop from the comfort of your own home or office.
The fee for the workshop is CAD$85, plus taxes and fees.
