People receiving community-based services want what we all want: have a home, have friends and family and have something to do, including a job! Beyond addressing symptoms, enhancing community participation and life skills is often what is helpful for people as they seek to meet their personal goals. Improved participation and independence are also about modifying the environment to remove obstacles and shaping the task to be the best fit with the person. In this workshop, we will introduce attendees to how to apply the person-environment-occupation framework in both the assessment and delivery of interventions and supports to people as part of psychiatric rehabilitation. Throughout, we will speak to the role of strengths-based, person-centered work that also attends to stages of change readiness.

Building Participation: Advanced Psychiatric Rehabilitation

Training was held in July 2024.  The recorded presentations will be available for one year, expiring on August 1, 2025. BHTP won't issue continuing education hours to those viewing the recordings.

Using more case-based consultation, role-playing and demonstrations, we will lead attendees through exercise so they may apply knowledge gained during the Introduction to Psychiatric Rehabilitation workshop. We will concentrate more specifically on assessing and addressing individuals’ tendency towards boredom and social isolation, both of which are risk factors for housing placement failures.

Introduction to the Profile of Participation

Training was held in September 2024.  The recorded presentations will be available for one year, expiring on October1, 2025. BHTP won't issue continuing education hours to those viewing the recordings.

The Profile of Participation (PoP) is a tool community mental health providers can use to evaluate a full range of client life domains that reflect daily life participation and functioning. Data gathered with the PoP can be used to identify areas in which people are not satisfied with their current level of participation, which includes social connections, community integration and employment. It also directs providers to attend to safety concerns that may impede success with independent housing. Successful use of the PoP will help service providers understand what is most meaningful to their clients including what intervention targets will lead to the most gains for their clients. This thee-hour workshop will describe the purpose of the tool, how to use it in practice, and how to use the information to identify meaningful intervention targets.
