API Care and Counselling, the community outreach arm of the Asian Pastoral Institute (API), is happy to organise this skill-based webinar to equip you with motivational techniques to motivate people you care for.
Have you felt helpless when someone tells you about his or her problems? Or have you ever wondered how to help someone who is having difficulties making changes to his or her life? In this workshop, participants will learn practical strength-based counselling strategies to motivate people they care for within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. The techniques taught in this skill-based workshop are drawn from prominent counselling approaches such as Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) are counselling skills commonly used by professional counsellors and psychologists. Case studies and instructional videos will be used in this workshop to illustrate how to use these motivational techniques.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS SHOULD EXPECT TO LEARN
- Overview of the evidence base and theory of motivational and strength-based strategies
- Core conversational and questioning techniques to motivate others towards behavioural change
- Planning solutions for change
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
- Anyone desiring to use a strength-based method to help a friend or family member make behavioural changes
- Supervisors, managers, and mentors interested in improving others’ internal motivation for change
