This training will explore what habits are, why we have them, evidence-based approaches changing them, and how they impact health and well-being for foster and system-involved youth. Participants will learn about the psychological and neurological mechanisms that drive habits. Habit formation frameworks will be reviewed, including the key stages of habit formation: goal identification, habit initiation, habit repetition, and habit maintenance. We will talk about barriers and supports (e.g. regulatory flexibility, stress buffering, and context selection) to “breaking bad habits” and to successfully forming healthy habits that promote lasting change.
We will discuss the role of mindful sociocognitive awareness, social support, and prosocial behaviors in habit formation. The need to consider situational and interpersonal contexts specific to foster and system-involved youth will be discussed, as well as applications for personal and public health.
