Stages of Change Change is a process that is not always linear or direct. There are six stages that most people go through in changing problematic habits. • Pre-contemplation • (No intention to change, not even thinking about it, in denial) • Contemplation • (Starting to think about changing, looking at the pros and cons) • Preparation • (Ready to make a change, beginning to take the first steps) • Action • (Taking specific actions in reducing the problem behavior or acquiring new behaviors) • Maintenance • (Able to sustain the change for some time and working to prevent relapse) • Termination • (Completed the change and certain not to return to the old problematic habit) (Prochaska, Norcross, and DiClemente, 1994) Assessing Motivation
Action, Maintenance, Termination • Homelessness is the absence of stable housing in a context of disaffiliation from social supports and resources that are normally available through the mainstream culture. • L.L. Bachrach(1993) • Homelessness and risk of homelessness can be minimized or prevented by: • Providing emotional and practical support during the critical time of transition • Strengthening the individual’s long-term ties to services, family, and friends
