Talking To Change: A Motivational Interviewing Podcast, hosted by Glenn Hinds and Sebastian Kaplan, is a series of conversations exploring Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its influence on supporting individuals and groups as they make positive health and lifestyle changes.
In this episode, Emma Braconier, a social worker based in Sweden who has volunteered for years at Sweden’s largest suicide support line (MIND), talks about finding hope from the Swedish suicide statistics, daring to listen, and MI skills relevant to suicide prevention, like eliciting “life talk,” affirming actions, double-sided reflections, and exploring values.
