Stages of Change & Motivational Interviewing UNSTICK THAT STUCK CLIENT
Employment Services Research Project (Manitoba) • 3 year (Feb. 2007 - Feb. 2010) • Almost 3,000 participants – study and control group who were chronically unemployed • Clients of First Nations, Métis, Inuit or non-status descent • Single parents (mostly women), clients with multi-barriers to employment • Persons with disabilities • Ex-offenders • Newcomers to Canada • Youth (18-29 years of age)
The Models We used the Stages of Change to assess client readiness to change & Motivational Interviewing to tip the scales of ambivalence
Disconnect Estimates less than 20% people making changes in their lives are in the action stage at any given time, but 90% of all programs designed to assist with change are intended for people in the action stage (Prochaska, et.al.,1994)
Motivational Interviewing “Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person’s own motivation and commitment to change” Miller and Rollnick, 2012
Research Project Study Results • 25% decrease in clients being released from employment assistance services • 34% increase in first time employed numbers • 48% increase in 6-month employment retention
Why use Motivational Interviewing? • Effective short term intervention to move client’s otherwise deemed un-motivated • It is directive and client-centered (moving towards outcomes in a respectful way) • Increase job satisfaction & reduced practitioner burn-out
