Exploring Motivational Readiness for Change: Using the Readiness Rulers

This session will take place on the Microsoft Teams Platform

Overview

Readiness and motivation to change is an important issue in both our understanding of, and in our support of the change process in service users. How important does this person think it is to address this concern, and how confident is the person about being able to do it? A person's expression of perceived importance to change and perceived confidence in their ability to succeed is related to actual change (Miller and Rollnick, 2013). The Readiness Rulers developed by Stephen Rollnick (co-author of Motivational Interviewing) is one approach to exploring these motivational components giving insight to the practitioner on appropriate strategies of support. 

Completion of the SDF Introduction to Motivational Interviewing training is a requirement for attendance.
