The 6th Taste of Suppers at the Princeton Public Library: Motivating Healthy Change
Have you struggled with making positive changes in your own life? Do you care about someone who would get better “if only they'd eat like you tell them to eat”? When our efforts to help ourselves or loved ones change unhealthy behaviors backfire, it may be because we have false assumptions about how to support the change process. Dr. Mark Woodford from The College of New Jersey will explain fundamental truths about change processes and introduce the principles of Motivational Interviewing. "MI" is a model used in public health and addictions counseling to help people whose improvement requires behavior change. Join Dr. Woodford and The Suppers Programs facilitators for a lecture, audience participation, and tastes of Suppers favorite recipes that are so delicious they might help motivate healthy change.
