About the Service
Motivational Interviewing is a skill and like any skill, it improves with intentional practice. Whether you’re preparing for a coaching role, trying to stay sharp after a workshop, or navigating a complex client conversation, practice and feedback sessions offer targeted feedback in a focused setting.
You’ll meet with a certified CCMI trainer to build on your foundational MI knowledge and apply your learning in real time.
What You’ll Get
Each session is tailored to your goals. You may choose to:
- Refine a specific MI skill (e.g. using complex reflections or developing change talk)
- Discuss a challenging client scenario where you’re feeling stuck
- Role play with your trainer as a patient/client and receive targeted feedback
- Ask follow-up questions related to a course or workshop you’ve completed
- Explore new techniques or areas where you want more clarity
- These private sessions are practical, focused, and built around your learning needs.
Who It’s For
- Health care professionals with MI training
- Peer helpers and support workers
- Course alumni who want 1-on-1 time with a trainer
- Anyone looking to refresh, enhance, or apply MI skills with expert guidance
