What is the purpose of the Change Plan Worksheet in peer support?

The Change Plan Worksheet is designed specifically to assist peers in creating a structured and actionable plan for change in their lives. This tool provides a framework that helps individuals identify their goals, set realistic steps to achieve those goals, and recognize potential barriers they might face during the process. By focusing on creating a personalized plan, the worksheet empowers peers to take ownership of their journey, facilitating a collaborative approach to achieving desired outcomes.

This becomes critical in a peer support setting, where the emphasis is on encouraging self-determination and personal growth. The worksheet nurtures the peer’s ability to strategize and actively work towards meaningful changes, enhancing their self-efficacy and motivation in the process.
