Recovery
This workshop starts with a fundamental belief that people living with behvioral health conditions can and do recover, and deserve opportunities to build lives not defined by those conditions
Additionally, Recovery is defined as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
This workshop explores the process in which an individual engages in their recovery journey, using the four stages of recovery of hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and meaningful roles as guides.

Psychosocial Rehabilitation
Psychiatric rehabilitation promotes recovery, full community integration, and improved quality of life for persons who have been diagnosed with any mental health condition that seriously impairs their ability to lead meaningful lives.
Psychiatric rehabilitation services are collaborative, person directed, and individualized. These services are an essential element of the health care and human services spectrum and should be evidence-based. They focus on helping individuals develop skills and access resources needed to increase their capacity to be successful and satisfied in the living, working, learning, and social environments of their choice.

Approaches to Growth - Harm Reduction
(09:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
Pacific Time (GMT-8)

Guyton Colantuono

Handout(s):

Harm Reduction, though originally developed in the substance use field, mirrors the principles of psychosocial rehabilitation. This workshop will illustrate how using harm reduction in the delivery of services is not only empowering to staff but provides a more meaningful opportunity to engage people as they walk and define their recovery journey. The workshop will challenge many macro assumptions about mental health, substance use, and other behaviors and provide direct service staff with an intervention crosswalk that is more person centered than the one shoe fits all approach that permeates our field.
 

To goal of this training develop participants' willingness and ability to provide integrated, person-centered care to people who are actively using substances. As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Identify two reasons why a person-centered model is essential for people with co-occurring disorders.
2. Identify three skills that are key to practicing harm reduction.
3. Distinguish between safety, moderation, and abstinence, when using a harm reduction mode
