Using MI in Groups​

NovoVia Consulting offers a 3-day course aimed at adapting MI to a group context. Initially, MI was developed as an individual approach, focusing on conversations between two people. However, in our daily work settings we often have conversations with more than one person, requiring us to be able to use MI with several individuals at the same time. MI can be adapted and used in groups, utilizing each group member’s individual power and motivation to support the entire group's movement forward towards change.​
