INTRODUCTION
 
Understanding behavior modification and relationship building is perhaps the most important of all sections in the tutorial! New behaviours replace older habits, and this process of change is challenging as individuals progress through stages of change with regression and successes along the way, aiming always for long-term, sustainable change. Behavioral and lifestyle change processes transcend not only how our patient and clients move toward adopting healthier choices but how we collaborate, interact and support them in this ever evolving relationship. This module will help you gain a basic understanding of those processes.

THE LEARNER WILL BE ABLE TO:

    Behaviour modification
