Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based approach, and is described as a "collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment to change". MI is an interpersonal style of communication, and focuses on partnership, acceptance, collaboration, and evocation to help promote change.
Motivational Interviewing is a powerful and effective tool that supports an individual in discovering their own reasons for change.
MI can help professionals:

- Elicit the client/patient's own motivation for change
- Facilitate the natural processes of change

- Support clients/patients with a specific plan of action for change
