Equine-assisted Introduction to Motivational Interviewing

This 3-day program will introduce you to the basic concepts of Motivational Interviewing while using horses as your teachers.  It will be held at Flag Is Up Farms, the home of world renowned horseman, Monty Roberts.  It will be facilitated by Kris Robins with daily demonstrations by Monty Roberts.

The parallels between M.I. and Monty Roberts' non-violent approaches to working with horses are many and have been identified by William R. Miller and Monty over the years they have worked together on projects.  Monty’s groundbreaking work with Veterans and other first responders who have post-traumatic stress injuries is currently in science trials to identify why it is so very successful in helping participants and their significant others find their resilience and begin a healing process.  Of course, Monty’s program rests upon a foundation of equine-assisted learning.  

This workshop will be of particular interest to those who are involved in counselling and other programs aimed at helping others identify their own motivation for change.  It will also benefit horsemen/women who utilize their horses in service to others and want to learn effective ways of working with people who are involved in a healing process, whether the injuries are physical or psychological.  The focus will be on the development of Motivational Interviewing skills and the importance of the spirit in working more effectively with people.

You will participate in a variety of classroom and equine-assisted activities to learn the basics of Motivational Interviewing.  Because horses are exceptional at providing immediate and direct feedback, they will be effective teachers in how well you are grasping the concepts of Motivational Interviewing.  And, if you like horses, it will be a unique way of bridging what you know about working successfully with equines to the work you are doing with people!  If you have never worked with horses, it will be a wonderful opportunity to learn Motivational Interviewing in a supported environment that will offer a unique perspective to being more effective with people.  To register, please visit www.montyroberts.com
