This comprehensive guide provides a practical introduction to Motivational Interviewing (MI) in child protection and family social work. Drawing on 20 years of experience, research and teaching, the authors offer a valuable resource for frontline professionals.
MI is a powerful tool for increasing the likelihood of behavioural change, particularly when working with client resistance. By using real-life recordings of social worker-family meetings, the book explains how to apply MI in child and family social care, helping you to better understand the needs of the people you support and provide more effective support.
With its focus on improving MI skills, this book is an invaluable resource for those working in child protection and family social care. It is an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their practice and provide more effective support to families and children.
