One of the main tasks of dietitians and providers is to meet the patients where they are and provide guidance along the path of change. This webinar will review the stages of change, the principles of change and the provider’s role at each stage of change. Specific interventions and tools will be introduced and reviewed. Patients often receive the label of “non-compliant” or “unmotivated”, which impacts provider’s confidence and approach with their patients. Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change Model has been a successful way to re-frame these negative labels. The Stages of Change Model can be most helpful in contextualizing lapse and relapse in recovery for both patients and providers. Understanding how different patients experience these levels of change and what they need most in those moments can lead to greater success and satisfaction for patients and providers, and can take the pressure off of both feeling like failures in the recovery journey.
