FACT & Motivational Interviewing

Join us in Whangārei for an educational day on the concepts of FACT and Motivational Interviewing presented by Bruce Arroll and Tipene Pickett.

FACT

Focus Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT) uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies to help people transform their relationship with unwanted distressing experiences, such as disturbing thoughts, unpleasant emotions, painful memories, or uncomfortable physical symptoms.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative goal-orientated method of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen an individual's motivation for and movement towards a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person's own arguments for change.

Morning tea and lunch will be provided.

 This session will be held at Te Ora Hou in Tikipunga.
