Using Targeted Questions to Evoke Change Talk
In this week’s Discussion, you had an opportunity to practice evoking change talk from the service user in the case study you were assigned in Week 2 to help them move beyond ambivalence. For this Assignment, you will have another opportunity to practice evoking change talk. This time, you will practice using the DARN CAT acronym to generate targeted questions to evoke change talk.
