return to an earlier stage of change to complete tasks that may not have been fully completed previously. For example, ambivalence may need to be explored again (contemplation stage) or more supports may need to be put into place (preparation stage). • Action for change is one of the last stages (not one of the first). The insight here is not to get ahead of peoples' readiness for change. When a peer is contemplating change, it is okay to stay in the exploration process. Jumping ahead to plan before the peer is ready can be counterproductive.
