1 Day - MI Training for Healthcare Teams in Brisbane: Holistic Approach

This is more than a workshop — it’s a transformational experience grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and meaningful change.
About this Event

This is an immersive 8-hour classroom workshop that teaches Motivational Interviewing (MI) within a dedicated learning community aimed at the healthcare practitioners who is interested in deepening their patient communication, compassion, and mental health resilience. By means of expert training, live practice examples, guided mindfulness, and peer role-play, the participants will have practical and evidence-based skills that they may put into practice at once.
This course is based on active learning and practical application, which is why, instead of passive learning, the course focuses on active learning and relevance to real-life situations where the participants can apply MI techniques in the supportive environment alongside individuals who represent different health care positions.
