Motivational Interviewing for Social Prescribing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based approach to behaviour change in healthcare, social work and many other settings. It is a client-centred and collaborative communication style. MI works by activating clients’ personal motivation and commitment towards better health, by exploring their own reasons for changes in lifestyle or adhering to prescribed treatment, in an atmosphere of compassion and acceptance.
