The MI “Beyond Foundations” course was an incredibly valuable experience for our team. The training provided a deep understanding of the Spirit of MI and core skills, particularly the use of OARS to foster meaningful conversations. The webinars were especially helpful in breaking down key concepts, allowing us to practice asking effective questions and recognizing change talk through real-life scenarios. The breakout rooms gave us a chance to apply these skills in a supportive environment, where we practiced with one another and received constructive feedback.
Our facilitators, Brittney and Anna, were outstanding, they provided thoughtful guidance, answered our questions with clarity, and created an engaging space where everyone felt encouraged to participate.
Feedback from the BCMHSUS Quality and Safety team: MI has provided us with valuable skills for fostering open, collaborative conversations, which has made our engagements more productive and supportive. Professionally, it’s enhanced our ability to listen actively, understand different perspectives, and guide discussions toward actionable solutions. The techniques from MI have strengthened our ability to motivate others while building trust and commitment, ultimately leading to better outcomes for everyone involved.
