ABSTRACT
This second chapter explores the topic of motivation at a deeper level. It introduces building motivation with young people as a preparational step to the Mission Possible-program. Here the chapter explains how to assess a client’s motivation level and to build upon it in order to be able to start the Mission Possible-program from a solid foundation. This chapter gives clues and tools to not only enhance motivation with young clients but also to use the most effective interventions to create the needed change in motivation. Descriptions of real-life case histories help readers to better understand the usefulness of the assessment and the necessary interventions to help young clients become ready to embark on their Mission Possible journey toward their goals.
