Partnering With People to Discover and Develop Readiness

 

 

 

Overview

Exploring and developing the person’s willingness to set a goal makes it more likely they will be open to considering the kind of future change(s) that might be involved in making the goal a reality later on.

Exploring the participant’s degree of preparation for making such an important decision helps the participant understand how much decision-making knowledge they have, ensuring that the choice they finally make is based on an understanding of themselves and the implications of characteristics about different environments.

Spending the time to fully consider if this is the right time to begin thinking about a commitment to a future life goal is crucial. This will help the participant make an informed decision about their chosen valued role and setting, despite the changes the decision may require.

Key Points of Partnering With People to Discover and Develop Readiness (Considering)

The process of assessing and developing readiness requires you to partner with the participant in their journey of self-discovery.

Key Point 1
Use the image of the house to orient participants to the process of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, explaining in your own words, what it means and what the outcomes might be.

Key Point3
Be sure to check in with participants often. You can use words and phrases like “I want to make sure I’m communicating effectively with you. You are in the driver’s seat here.” This ensures that you are working at the same pace and “not leaving them behind.” It also fosters a sense of ownership over the process for the participant, which may be a shift for many people who participate in services.

Key Point4
Use the profile worksheet to work with someone to identify personal perspectives and knowledge about change, asking questions that will lead to a rating of low, medium, or high. This information will help you to identify areas for readiness development. The end result of this exploration will be a summary profile of the rating the participant gives themselves on each factor and an overall decision about what to do next-develop readiness, go ahead and set a goal,or not continue with Psychiatric Rehabilitation but use another service or activity.
