What is the first stage of the Stages of Change Model?

Action
Maintenance
Contemplation
Pre-contemplation

The correct answer is: Pre-contemplation

The first stage of the Stages of Change Model is Pre-contemplation. In this initial phase, individuals are not yet considering change. They may be unaware of the negative impacts of their behavior or may not recognize a need for change at all. This stage is characterized by a lack of intention to alter behavior, and individuals often dismiss the idea of change or may even resist it. Understanding this stage is crucial for recovery coaches because it sets the foundation for helping individuals recognize the benefits of change and beginning the journey toward recovery. Transitioning from Pre-contemplation can involve increasing awareness and helping individuals identify their motivations to move to the next stage of contemplation, where they start to think about making a change.
