- 4. Stages of Change Change is a process that happens over time and in stages. These Stages of Change* include: Pre-Contemplation = No Contemplation = Maybe Planning = Getting Ready Action = Acting Differently Sustaining = More Than 51% As change is often difficult for any of us, Relapse is often part of the process and can happen at any point in the stages of change. *Roca has taken Prochaska’s stages of change and adapted them for a very high-risk youth development model. Backed by evidence from multiple disciplines (e.g. substance abuse, medicine, harm reduction, etc.), promoting young people through the stages of change allows them to develop the intrinsic skills, desires, and capacities to successfully move towards safety and economic independence.
