Ann Arbor- Stages of Change

The Stages of Change model has been used since the 1970’s to help provide a framework for helping foster self-directed behavior change. When working with people we serve, it can be especially helpful in accessing readiness for change while offering strategies to help support individuals in each stage. This training will provide a review of the six stages of change while examining when using the model may be helpful and identifying when it could be harmful. We will explore how client goals often involve addressing multiple behaviors with varying stages for each and how we can leverage that to build client confidence in the ability to change.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
- Review the Stages of Change and the characteristics of each stage.
- Explore how to leverage the Stages of Change to build confidence in our client’s ability to change.
- Identify how the Stages of Change can be applied using a harm reduction approach.
