Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Have you ever wondered if your life has deeper meaning beyond what your are currently living for? The desire to attain material things, relationships, and accomplishments with the hope of producing happiness has become one of the strongest motivations influencing our lives today. Yet for so many people who have attained everything they desire, something still seems to be missing. The Pursuit of Purpose calls out the empty promises found in today's cultural norm of living for our own happiness. There is a better way, one that can lead to true fulfillment, and it begins by discovering our purpose. This book explores five building blocks of purpose that have the power to reveal our calling and produce the faith needed to pursue it. You'll hear stories of people who each had a unique encounter with purpose that changed their lives: Michael Phelps, Brené Brown, Rebekah Gregory, Louise Zamperini, and others. If you are looking for something more out of life than the endless search for happiness, The Pursuit of Purpose provides the tools and encouragement to help you find true fulfillment. We each have a purpose and the world is waiting for us to share it! "A powerful and challenging book for anyone searching to figure out their life! Wedell does a wonderful job exposing the current cultural myth that pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain leads to happiness. As a clinical psychologist, I'd highly recommend this book to anyone searching for the deeper foundations to a fulfilling life." - Dr. Andrew Hartman "The Pursuit of Purpose is a raw and honest exploration of why we're here and what it means to prioritize fulfillment over fleeting happiness. Wedell vulnerably weaves his personal story into his writing as he invites the reader to question what it means to live a life of purpose." - Lindsey Kunz, Author of Why Women Innovate "An immense reflection on life, purpose, and the pursuit of happiness. Resonating with the young generation, the book offers age-old advice and wisdom." - Dr. Lei Zhou "The Pursuit of Purpose is a fun, compelling, and easy read. It gave me a renewed sense of why I work for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes day to day and helped me see that it's not as much about our final destination but, rather, being faithful on our journey." - Chris Drenth, FCA Kane County Representative

Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.
