CAMI Forum on 5 Aug 2023

We are pleased to invite our members Ms. Sandra LAI and Mr. Jack CHENG to share their insights on "Using the 'DARN CATs' framework in Motivational Interviewing (MI) to explore the mindset of celebrity fans' support." Also, Ms. Sandy Hui will share how to apply the “DARN CATs” concept to a patient with chronic kidney disease, to enhance his motivation for change and self-help.

Part 1: Topic sharing (by Ms. Sandra LAI, Mr. Jack CHENG)

Motivational Interviewing (MI) believes that people have internal intention, ability and resources to change themselves. Motivation and action are constructed by "DARN CATs" (Desire, Ability, Reason, Need, Commitment, Activation and Taking steps), which drive people to break through limitations and make changes. In recent years, the phenomenon of celebrity fandom and support has been popular, with fans' footprints spread throughout Hong Kong, Mainland China, and even overseas. In the process of supporting their favorite celebrities, they also apply their internal DARN CATs to present numerous impressive scenes of fandom, with various supportive actions. This forum will use the speakers' counseling experience to explore the mindset of celebrity fans' support by applying the concept of “DARN CATs” in MI, allowing participants to understand the power of intrinsic motivation.

Part 2: Work sample discussion (by Ms. Sandy HUI)

Speaker will share her interview with a chronic kidney disease patient who required Peritoneal Dialysis as replacement therapy. With applying the spirit and soft skill of MI, Speaker intended to evoke the his "DARN CATs," and enhance his motivation on improving his living environment to support his home therapy.

Don’t miss this wonderful event to learn more about MI!
