Specialist Professional Development
Engaging young people in conversations about change requires more than just advice; it requires a specific set of communication skills designed to foster internal motivation. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a globally recognised, evidence-based approach that helps practitioners navigate ambivalence and empower young people to take ownership of their own choices. At KIP Education, our training provides your team with the practical frameworks to lead these conversations effectively, even when faced with significant resistance.
We focus on the “spirit” of MI—partnership, acceptance, compassion, and evocation. By mastering these techniques, staff can move away from confrontational or directive styles of communication and instead build a collaborative relationship that encourages genuine, sustainable behaviour change. This training provides a robust toolkit for any professional looking to increase their impact during one-to-one interventions and daily interactions.
