Abstract:

Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based approach to behaviour change that requires the clinician to engage with their client as an equal partner. It's a useful communication technique for care providers but it requires skill, time and practice. This interactive lecture will focus on the basic principles of motivational interviewing as a method for improving communication with clients. We will explore practical applications of this technique for the lactation professional, during goal setting and client education.
