suicideprograms

The mental health professionals in public mental health services are the target audience for this training at Suicide Programmes AUS. Motivation is what propels people's behaviour. Motivational interviewing online training is a therapeutic strategy based on the idea that all human activity is driven. Our suicide prevention in Australia recognises that many people struggle with ambivalence when deciding to make changes—they simultaneously want to change and don't. It also acknowledges that individuals can weigh the benefits and drawbacks of altering or maintaining their habits. The goal is to increase motivation for change rather than immediately concentrate on making changes.
