Creating Partnerships, Motivating Individuals, Facilitating Change
The Centre for Collaboration, Motivation and Innovation (CCMI) helps individuals and organizations create partnerships that improve health and well-being. We do this by working collaboratively to inspire new ways of thinking about helping relationships, teach practical skills that foster partnerships, and implement strategies for system-wide change.
Support clients in making meaningful changes. Motivational Interviewing is a practical, client-centered approach that helps health professionals guide conversations toward positive outcomes.
Make every conversation count. Brief Action Planning provides health professionals with simple, effective tools to support patients in setting and achieving their own health goals. It’s a practical approach to fostering motivation and building confidence in small, manageable steps.
Break down barriers to understanding health information. Health literacy training equips healthcare teams with strategies to communicate clearly, ensuring patients feel informed and confident about their care.
Collaborative Screening helps health professionals engage patients in open, supportive conversations, ensuring that screening processes are both effective and person-centered.
What learners are saying
Best Motivational Interviewing Training in Vancouver
Oh my goodness, I liked so many things about the program. The material is amazing. The staff, I can’t say enough about how you helped me in my work with clients.
Easy-to-follow course
I loved the course! It exceeded my expectations. We learned very useful tools (how to use it properly). And it was presented in an easily understandable fashion. Even though it is my second language I could understand well.
Practical MI course
The structure of the course was excellent, plenty of opportunity to practice alone with the case studies and in person with the staff. The live practice and feedback session were really valuable for me.
Excellent program!
Very well-structured content. Easy to work through at my own pace. Combination of written, auditory and visual content along with practice activities and live practice sessions worked very well to help reinforce my learning. Excellent program!
Great online course
The Motivational Interviewing online course succinctly captured the important elements of MI and made helped me to integrate knowledge. The best MI course I’ve taken.
Building MI skills
What I really liked about the program was gaining a better understanding and approach to MI skills, how to incorporate skills more fluently and natural. Understanding how certain approaches can guide conversation outcome.
Community, valuable resources
Easy to navigate online course, multiple options of presenting info, simple graphics, clear submission process, downloadable PDFs for reference, reading forum comments on, support and feedback from all CCMI members
MI practice sessions with the trainer
I like the way this program is designed with quizzes, assignments, videos, audios, helpful hand outs and especially have one-on-one sessions with CCMI trainers to go over the materials. I wish I had more one-on-one sessions with CCMI trainers to practice things that I have learned.
Wonderful way to learn Motivational Interviewing online!
Everything in the course was actually useful, and it felt like it had been curated with a good deal of care and intention. I spent longer on this course than I normally would for other online education because I wanted to take the time to really digest the material – it was that good!
Thanks for the course and supporting resources!
I definitely took away a lot from this course. I learned many practical strategies and tools that can help me address the various ways ambivalence shows up in my clients. I appreciated the information broken down into easily understandable categories with handouts available for future reference.

Great Motivational Interviewing course
What a great course! I have been exposed to MI in the past, but feel that this has encouraged me to take small steps at incorporating the processes so that it becomes more familiar and easier to use…like a forming a habit and not feeling at a loss of words. I agree that reflections and more patient engagement will be the key!
