In the world of Social Services, connection with the clients you serve is paramount. As the distribution of services rise; often Social Service professionals are expected to increase their workload capacity to keep up with this demand in the face of decreasing resources. This analogy can create an environment where the Social Service professional and client become disconnected with each other; do not let this happen. Motivational Interviewing is essential to create a trusted relationship between client and Social Service professionals/organizations. Further utilizing Motivational Interviewing will create a positive culture change. The process of Motivational Interviewing benefits Social Service organizations by being goal directive; helping a client fulfill autonomy and ultimately gaining freedom from services. Motivational Interviewing will help Social Service professionals as well by teaching them how to connect and identify with their clients, fulfill the mission of the organization, all while actually decreasing and streamlining their workload. Equally, clients will be more satisfied from being architects of their own future and Social Service professionals who understand them more on a deeper level.
