“10/10 training. Best one by far which is all thanks to Steven and how he delivered the training." Motivational Interviewing Training, MPFT, March 2025
And my final post for the week, I spent a brilliant day with the learners from the Social Work Learning Academy. This mixture of learners from across MPFT, Stoke on Trent City Council and Staffordshire County Council were again exemplary learners. They really appreciated the work that has gone into the creation of the course. They were ALL without fail clearly motivated to learn, engaged with each other and above all compassionate to the needs of the people they are working with. Surely that’s the key to good social work practice.
The course was created for adult social care and highlights several areas where motivational interviewing can be used to support people into positive lifestyle changes. This time, we spent the day looking at mental health issues and the way in which we can encourage people to access services.
Collated below is a sample of the 100% positive feedback comments:
“Really enjoyed myself and found the training very informative yet engaging. I found the session being interactive was a great way to help me understand things more.
