The 12-2-1 Change Model
An evidence-based Stages of Change approach
Goal is two-fold:
1. Recovery in this life
2. Eternity with God in the next

People in this group have a NEED for change, but... either they don't recognize it or don't own it. 

*They can appear to be resistant, unmotivated, or just not ready for help.

*They have likely heard, "You should make a change..." plenty of times.

*Change is NOT on their radar; Focus Area is not currently a real issue or concern.

 

*They are usually un-informed or under-informed about the consequences of their choices.

 

*Repeated unsuccessful attempts can make them question their ability to change.

People in this group WANT change, but...

 they are on the fence about taking any meaningful action.

*They seem to want the benefits of change without doing the work.

 

*They often "say all the right things," but just don't follow through. 

 

*They show chronic indecision and procrastination; they can stay here for a long time.  

 

*They are motivated primarily out of compliance; not really invested in change.

*They "talk the talk..."

People in this group are WILLING to take the action that change requires, and...

their actions show it.

*They have an action plan and are using it, one day at a time.

 

*They are working to prevent relapse.

 

They grow increasingly more confident that they can continue to walk out the changes they have made. 

 

They are usually less tempted to relapse.

​​

They "walk the walk."
