Dear colleagues,

I have been approached countless times about the relevance of MI in public health campaigns.  For example, "If telling or scaring people in poster campaigns is likely to evoke resistance, is there a better way, derived from MI?"

Now, a colleague from Ireland tells me that the agency he works for is considering a localised poster campaign at bus stops, youth centres, etc, aimed at adolescences,young adults (14 - 25 year olds).The issues he hope to create consideration of include cannabis attitudes / use, alcohol attitudes / use, the holding and transporting of drugs / guns.

Its a great opportunity.  This colleague wonder about visual presentations of ambivalence?  He might come into this forum to discuss this. meanwhile, do share any thoughts, and I'll ask a PhD student who is a graphic designer to join this discussion thread too.
Kind regards, Steve

Forthcoming Workshops

Motivational Interviewing: Introduction & Update. 2 day workshop - 11th & 12th June 2012, Cardiff
Begin: 11.06.12, 09:00
End: 12.06.12, 17:00
This is a repeat one-off opportunity to learn about motivational interviewing (MI), and the latest developments, from its two co-founders, William R. Miller from Albuquerque, New Mexico & Stephen Rollnick from Cardiff, Wales. Professor Miller will return to Cardiff after a successful workshop in 2011. This will be of interest to both to newcomers and those more familiar with MI. A streaming system will be used to ensure that those relatively new to MI will get good opportunity to practice basic skills. It will provide: - Clarification about the common and unique elements of MI - A focus on client change language and how it guides the practice of MI - An update on theory and research - The presentation of a new 4-process framework for MI that allows for easier integration in diverse settings - Opportunity to practice core skills for evoking motivation to change For further details and application form, visit: www.misr2012.co.uk
