The First Step

You have taken the first step toward change - being ready and interested in making changes. All of us need support for that process.

Research has shown there are specific elements of making CHANGE HAPPEN.

Your work in the CHANGE HAPPENS program thru the Integrative Medical Clinic will help you reach your goals - and give you skills to make other changes throughout your life. 

What happens as part of the CHANGE HAPPENS program

You complete a Change Happens workbook and review it with your Change Happens guide at IMC – This is a face to face review and often can be billed to insurance.

When you are ready to begin, you work for four months with your Change Happens guide making specific changes in your life. You check in by phone or email and review your work in four key areas – your STAR:

 S - Stage of Change -identify the stage of change you are working on.

 T - Tiny steps you will take – to ensure success – often breaking down larger goals.

 A - Always get support – check-in with your Change Happens guide and others.

 R - Reinforcement – give yourself positive reinforcement, ask others too.

Often check-ins are several times a week, other times less often. You control the pace. Your Change Happens guide keeps you on track. You can continue the Change Happens support in 4 month increments. You learn the Change Happens process and can continue it on your own.
