Our programs use proven behavior-change methodologies such as Motivational Interviewing, Affirmative Inquiry, the Transtheoretical Model of Change, Self-Cognitive Theory, and Positive Psychology. These methodologies are effective because they help to empower people as they change behavior. Some of these practices help to boost self-esteem, build self-efficacy, and enhance happiness. Another asks people to assess their readiness to change a behavior and then provides support appropriate to their answer. Still others help people increase intrinsic motivation by encouraging them to examine what’s worked in the past or encouraging them to examine and resolve their ambivalence. These methodologies are our toolbox, and the learning environment we create with them is one of acceptance, non-coercion, and success.
