Stages of Change

 


DESCRIPTION:


The Stages of Change model has been a staple of training on person-centered practices since it was first published in the early 90s. This model is often used only as a descriptive tool rather than a guide to action and effective intervention. This class describes how to identify where a person is at in their change process AND matches simple interventions that fit that stage. In this way workers can help guide people toward the changes they want to make with a minimum amount of confrontation.


 


 


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:


  • Describe and review the Stages of Change Model
  • Identify what the stages look and sound like
  • Link each stage to specific interventions


 


 


CONTINUING EDUCATION:


Registrants who fully attend this training will be eligible to receive 2.0 continuing education (CE) hours certified by the Minnesota Board of Social Work and the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy. CE certificates are provided by the host agency, People Incorporated Training Institute.
