Identifying readiness to change

Audience: healthcare professionals

Behaviour and lifestyle changes can have a big influence on our health and wellbeing, but may not be easy to start or maintain. It can be useful to recognise where someone is on their journey to making a change, in order to support them.

The Readiness for Change tool is based on Prochaska & DiClemente’s (1992) Stage of Change model. This tool could help health and care professionals who are using motivational interviewing and health coaching approaches in their work with children and young people.

This resource was developed by Jessie McCulloch, Me first Project Developer and Amy Feltham,  Me first Young Adviser.
