Motivational interviewing (MI) is a widely used therapeutic approach for a range of mental health, behavioural health, physical health and substance abuse issues. This interactive workshop will provide an overview of using MI in a group counselling format. It is suitable for those who have a working knowledge of MI and would like to learn how to use it in a group setting, or for those people already running groups to learn how to add MI into that format.
