Hello one and all,
Thanks to the wonderful folks at Telford and Wrekin Council, the past week has absolutely blown by! What an attentive, engaging and motivated group of learners. Absolutely superb. Yet again I was blown away by their commitment to learn, participate and improve the lives of young people and families across Shropshire.
Motivational Interviewing is really making a difference to the lives of people in Telford and Wrekin and it is a testament to the council that the staff are embedding what they have learned and supporting families into real lifestyle changes. A big thank you to Marie Hatton, the Service Delivery Manager Children in Care and Leaving Care, for supporting me every step of the way and also a huge show of gratitude to the assembled learners who all knew that my Dad had died and took time to demonstrate real empathy and get me through a tough period of time.
Here is a sample of the 100% positive feedback:
“This training was fantastic and really informative, it really helped me to think about the work I do with families and how many times I ask questions and ‘fill the silences.’ I would recommend this training to all of my colleagues.” Amy
“This was a great course and I will take back the information that I learned and put it into practice.” Helen
“This is one of the best training courses I have ever been on. I felt engaged throughout. I really hope this improves my practice and makes me think about how I interact with people and what I want to achieve and more importantly what service users need and what they experience when working with me.” Rachael
