Requests for training in Motivational Interviewing techniques came out of consultations with the sector, as well as from some of the people who participated in the ‘Complex Clients and Self Care’ training as part of the WDS. It was decided to ask Amovita to run this training, as they had come to Tasmania in February 2016 to run the ‘Complex Clients and Self Care’ training, which was very well received by participants.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) training was held on 14th October in Launceston and the 17th October in Hobart, and of the total 56 participants, 93% of attendees rated the training as good – excellent.
