A critical analysis of  motivational interviewing in children and family social work was a rec ent article written by Nina Kyriacou and Dr Henry Smith.  It highlighte d how MI’s focus on individual motivation can risk shifting responsibili ty onto individuals to bring about changes that they are not able to influ ence because of the social and structural influences shaping their circu mstances.\n\nThis CareKnowledge Live webinar will provide an opportunity t o explore an important question:  when is it reasonable to focus on motiv ation\, and how do we guard against inadvertently placing responsibility on individuals to change circumstances they can barely influence?  The w ebinar will also explore how MI can be used ethically in everyday practi ce.\n\nThe focus is not on developing MI skills but an invitation to think together about how we work with motivation in ways that are humane\, cont ext-aware\, and ethically grounded.  As always in CareKnowledge Live\, the emphasis will be on thoughtful dialogue\, professional curiosity\, an d the space to think.\n\n \;\n\nTo register your attendance at this f ree webinar please click on the link below.\n\nhttps://www.careknowledge.c om/webinar/motivational-interviewing?utm_source=Outlook&\;utm_medium=Em ail&\;utm_campaign=LWcontacts&\;utm_id=LWcontacts\n\n \;\n\nIf y ou’re not already a CareKnowledge member\, the link above won’t work.
