B1C Right Intervention, Right Time: Evidence-Based Interventions Across the Stages of Change
Michael Oldenburg
Understanding where individuals are in the process of change is critical to delivering effective interventions. This session introduces the stages of change model and explores how it can be applied in justice and treatment settings to improve engagement and outcomes.
Participants will learn how to assess readiness for change and identify behaviors that correspond to each stage. The session will focus on matching interventions to the individual’s level of motivation, helping to reduce resistance and increase participation in programming.
Through real-world examples and practical tools, attendees will gain strategies they can immediately implement in their work. By aligning interventions with readiness for change, professionals can create more meaningful interactions and support participants in making lasting behavioral changes.
