"By far the best training I've been on so far." Motivational Interviewing for Adult Social care via Expert Citizens Insight Academy, March 2025
Greetings one and all,
This week I had the pleasure of delivering my Adult Social Care specific ‘Inspiring Change’ Motivational Interviewing training to a cohort of learners from across the Social Work Learning Academy. This mixture of learners from across MPFT, Stoke on Trent City Council and Staffordshire County Council were exemplary learners. I absolutely loved being in their company and as you can see from the feedback, they all really appreciated the work I’ve put into making the course applicable to their learning needs.
The course was commissioned by MPFT via Expert Citizens Insight Academy, who have given me so many wonderful opportunities over the last few years.
This newly updated version of the course now includes mental health specific scenarios and also an array of hands-on learning tools to better equip the learners to embed the learning.
A smattering of the learner feedback comments is below and as you can see, it was all rather brilliant!
“The training will definitely enhance my practice. It will aid me in relationship building and building trust.”
