PSY-5450Z: Mental Health Paradigm in Action: 21st Century Recovery Model

This course will introduce students to the Recovery Model, a powerful and important concept in the delivery of mental health services and key to the new models of community mental health service delivery within the Mental Health Services Act. Topics addressed will include the origins and history of the Recovery Movement, an overview of the Recovery Model, and the role of mental health professionals in recovery. Special emphasis will be placed on the skills and competencies necessary to work effectively within the Recovery Model, best practices for mental health professionals, and emerging opportunities for community mental health professionals created by the Mental Health Services Act. Through films, lecture, interactive exercises and community opportunities, students will explore how the Recovery Model and integrative community services for individuals living with mental illness can lead to positive outcomes and social justice for individuals often marginalized within their own families, communities, and within the systems of mental health service delivery. Students will be introduced to the changes in attitudes, expectations, and outcomes (for both practitioners and consumers), necessary to achieve and maintain recovery.
