Making Change Happen: A Workshop for Developing Change Agent Skills.
Benjamin, Libby; Walz, Garry R.
A specific rationale to support counselors as change agents and a model counselors can use to develop change agent strategies are presented in this program guide. It is based on the idea that counselors are in an excellent position for influencing change and, at the same time, improving their own situation. This package may be used by anyone interested in directing the process of change in virtually any setting. It includes detailed instructions for workshop facilitators that accompany the text and participant materials. Designed to be presented over a three-day period, the workshop demonstrates, through the participants' experiences, a seven-step, systematic, sequential process that has been widely tested with many audiences for a number of years. These steps are: (1) establish the need; (2) build interactive relationships; (3) assess the situation; (4) generate options; (5) decide upon a goal; (6) facilitate adoption and implementation; and (7) refine and renew.
