Which of the following questions is appropriate to ask in step 3 to encourage action?

This choice is appropriate because it directly prompts the individual to identify the resources, support, or steps necessary to take action towards their goals. Asking, "What do you need to get started?" helps to clarify their needs and encourages them to think concretely about tangible actions they can take. It fosters motivation by prioritizing the individual’s agency and encouraging them to consider their own requirements for initiating change.

By focusing on what is needed to get started, the question is action-oriented and facilitates a positive shift towards setting and achieving goals. It empowers the individual to take ownership of their journey and encourages proactive behavior. This aligns well with the principles of peer support, which emphasize empowerment and self-determination in the recovery process.
