“Good mental health is not just the absence of mental illness, it’s the ability to cope with life’s challenges, form meaningful relationships, and thrive in a constantly changing world.”
Are you ready to change for real? or are you just saying it?
Many people are unaware they need to change, others are aware of the need to change but have not started talking about it. This is intended to help people identify where on the change continuum they fall.
The Trans-theoretical Model (also called the Stages of Change Model), was developed by Prochaska and DiClemente in the late 1970s. It was determined that people change if they were ready to do so. Thus, the Trans-theoretical Model (TTM) focuses on the decision-making of the individual and is a model of intentional change. The TTM operates on the assumption that people do not change behaviors quickly and decisively. Rather, change in behavior, especially habitual behavior, occurs continuously through a cyclical process.
Change exists on a continuum. Use the checklist below to determine which stages of change are you?

Pre-contemplation: In this stage…
- I do not intend to take action in the near future (within the next 6 months).

Contemplation: In this stage…
- I intend to start the new behavior in the foreseeable future (defined as within the next 6 months).
- I recognize that my behavior may be problematic, and I have been more thoughtful and practically considering the pros and cons of changing the behavior
- Even with this recognition, I still feel ambivalent toward changing the behavior.
Preparation (Determination): In this stage…
- I am ready to take action within the next 30 days.

- I believe changing their behavior can lead to improvement.
Action: In this stage…
- I have recently changed my behavior (defined as within the last 6 months)
