Topic: Motivational Interviewing

Speaker: Suzanne Hanrahan

The session this week will focus on the art of using motivational interviewing as tool to assist pregnant women to reduce and cease substance use.

Following this, a case study will be presented.

Case presentations by participating clinicians are a cornerstone of the ECHO model. Presentations are always followed by an open Q&A and discussion, with takeaway recommendations developed by everyone involved and summarized by the specialist team. We would welcome any participants to present a case study of an existing or recent client. The case study being presented for discussion does not need to have issues matching the didactic presentation, but can be any woman and family who is impacted by drug and alcohol use.

If you would like to present a case for discussion, you can submit de-identified patient cases using our standard case-presentation template. We will send out the template when you register. Please email WADS with your completed template at wads@thewomens.org.au
