SUGGEST A RECOVERY RESOURCE FOR WEBSITE REPOSITORY
The Center is the process of developing a website repository of
recovery resource materials to assist state mental health administrators
and consumers in state offices of consumer/recipient affairs in
their work to create more recovery-oriented systems. Data is being
collected from these two groups to learn about recovery-oriented
systems and services as well as what resource materials and training
activities have been helpful to support recovery. We also welcome
suggestions on useful articles, books, documents, reports, multimedia,
training and educational resources, and/or websites related to
recovery from mental illness. To suggest a resource, please access

IDENTIFYING FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS IN RELATION TO EMPLOYMENT
A
recent article entitled “Identifying functional limitations
in work for people with psychiatric disabilities” highlights
the results of a multi-site, longitudinal study that was conducted
with 191 employees in 22 supported employment programs during
a 1-year study period. The purpose of the study was to better
understand the impact of functional limitations related to employment
and to assist both consumers and practitioners develop reasonable
accommodations needed to be successful on the job. You can download

DUAL DISORDERS TRAINING MATERIALS
The
Center offers two training resources related to co-occurring substance
abuse and mental illness. The first is a training package based
on an audiotaped workshop entitled "Integrated Treatment
of Dual Disorders: Substance Use Disorder and Severe Mental Illness"
conducted by Dr. Kim Mueser, PhD, Professor in the Department
of Psychiatry and Community and Family Medicine at Dartmouth Medical
School. The materials focus on the components of interfaced treatments;
how interventions can be modified to match each client's motivational
level for changing his or her behavior and individual, group,
and family interventions for treating these disorders. For more
information on the audiotaped workshop, please access the following
link:

The
second resource is the book “A Comprehensive Guide for Integrated
Treatment of People with Co-Occurring Disorders” which is
intended for use in an academic course or for in-service training.
