Relapse Prevention: Maintaining the change
Recovery from addictions is an ongoing process
of change that does not occur overnight for most
people. Clinical experience and research findings
support the theory that recovery is a long-term
process. For many people relapse appears to be
the rule and not the exception when it comes to
making enduring change in longstanding addictive
behaviours.
As people move through their journey of
healing from addictions, they often experience ambivalence
about moving forward in their recovery. Ambivalence
can prevent people from making and sustaining the
important changes needed to keep them on the path
of recovery.
The goal of this workshop is to help
clinicians work with clients in a way that is
congruent with
the spirit of Motivational Interviewing and the
principles of Relapse Prevention. This workshop is
for counsellors,
psychologists, social workers and others who work
with people overcoming addictive behaviours. The
workshop is didactic and experiential and is oriented
for people who work from a wide range of change
paradigms from harm reduction to 12-Step facilitated.
Health Behaviour Change: Enhancing engagement
and adherence
Medical and allied health practitioners are often
frustrated by low rates of engagement in treatment,
non-adherence to treatment recommendations and
attrition from treatment. In an attempt to address
these problems, brief interventions based on the
philosophy and principles of Motivational Interviewing
are currently being successfully utilised in a
number of healthcare settings including diabetes
management, exercise adherence, pain management,
cardiac rehabilitation and weight loss. Participants
will become familiar with the principles and components
of brief intervention in health care settings and
learn how to maximise the therapeutic opportunity
available in their interactions with patients.
This workshop includes a combination of didactic,
demonstration and experiential learning and is
suitable for medical and allied health practitioners.
