CONFERENCE KEYNOTE WEBCAST RELEASED
If
you were unable to attend the Innovations in Recovery & Rehabilitation
conference in October 2002, you now have an opportunity to view
a webcast of the keynote speech delivered by Dr. William Anthony.
The webcast entitled, "The Decade of the Person and the Walls
that Divide Us" describes examples of "walls" existing
in the field of mental health and highlights the necessity of
tearing down these barriers that continue to isolate individuals
diagnosed with mental illness from themselves and from one another.
A transcript of the webcast is also available for download. To
view the webcast, please access the following link:

NEW! PRACTITIONER TOOLS FOR ACHIEVING VALUED ROLES
A
new product in our Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner Tools
series was recently produced for Achieving Valued Roles, which
is a Compendium of Evaluation Modules & Lesson Plans for 68
skills. There is a Skill Assessment to determine what skills an
individual might need to achieve goals in residential, educational,
vocational, or social settings. The Evaluation Modules are used
to determine which skills the individual needs to be taught versus
those skills that only need to be improved. The Lesson Plans are
used by practitioners to conduct small group (or individual) Direct
Skills Teaching interventions that help participants learn how
to perform a skill. These very practical and "hands on"
materials were developed by the Center's affiliate organization,
BCPR Consulting, Inc.
