- This event has passed.
Additional ticket prices available online.
A one-day online intermediate skills course for developing confidence and mastery of MI in educational psychology practice.
In this course, Cathy Atkinson and Fi Coley, members of the international Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) will offer a lively, informative and interactive opportunity to explore how to use MI in daily practice.
We will explore MI in EP consultation, individual work with children and young people, and how to use MI more creatively and in different areas of EP practice.
The day will include:
Recap of key principles (MI spirit, tasks and skills)
How to work collaboratively to set agendas for change
Eliciting change talk and softening sustain talk
Applying MI in everyday EP practice (including EHCNAs!)
The aim of the day will be to allow participants to develop further confidence and mastery in using MI within different aspects of their EP work.
This training is for those who have already engaged in at least one day of CPD in MI (training, reading or skills practice). You will need a secure understanding of the spirit, skills and tasks of MI.* This event is open to Educational Psychologists, Trainee Educational Psychologists, and Assistant Psychologists. We are unable to accommodate aspiring EPs at this event.
*Our one-day introductory course is running next on Friday 6th June 2025 and will include:
An outline of the theoretical and research background to MI
Consideration of the spirit, tasks and skills involved in MI
Experiential work, to develop skills and confidence
Guidance on the application of MI to EP practice
