To meet the demands of distance learning, Pro-Change Behavior Systems, Inc. now offers an e-Learning course titled, Basic Transtheoretical Model Training. This online course teaches coaches and other health care professionals the basic concepts and strategies needed to effectively use the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM) when working with clients.
The course incorporates activities such as role-plays, knowledge checks, and a 25-item multiple-choice certificate test to further strengthen the concepts learned. It includes additional features such as close captioning, recorded narration, and a resource library.
By the end of this interactive four-hour course, which can be completed in one or multiple sittings, the learner will be able to:
- Understand and describe the characteristics of people in each Stage of Change – Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance, and Termination.
- Describe the four main constructs of the TTM – stage of change, decisional balance, self-efficacy, and processes of change.
- Know which TTM principles and processes to employ at each Stage of Change (e.g., in Precontemplation to raise the Pros, in Maintenance to focus on preventing relapse).
- List and define techniques of Motivational Interviewing (MI), a way of working with clients that complements the TTM to support behavior change.
Cost: $100/user. To order or inquire about this course, please contact Pro-Change at elearning@prochange.com or 401-360-2981.
