Some data’s… • In Israel 7.500.000 citizens. • We evaluate 10 % of the population as having Disabilities. • 70.000 – 120.000 Persons have Psychiatric Disabilities. • This is the bigger group from all the Disabilities groups. • People with Psychiatric Disabilities are underprivileged and suffer from discrimination.
Barriers to Recovery and PR implementation in Israel • Stigma • Hegemony of the medical model • Citizenship, war and recovery • No enough basic training in Mental Health policy and practice inside the Universities • Political base practice
Developments of the Israel System of Care • Reforms and deinstitutionalization process • Shift in societal attitudes towards persons with disabilities • Consumers movement (Family members & “Coppers”) • New legislation and government appointed committees reports

Challenges No data management at all levels (referrals are very poor in quality and quantity, no data monitoring, no connection between the clinical and the rehabilitation data) Many clients are referred to rehabilitation without readiness to change Many clients use services without connections to their personal goals (self determination, abilities development, motivation) The community service system (Health, Mental Health, Welfare and Psychiatric Rehabilitation) is not coordinated and organized
(Marianne Farkas, 2006) Recovery means regaining a meaningful life within a given cultural context and according to the person’s personal goals
The right according to the law The psychiatric rehabilitation law states that any adult with at least 40% Medical Psychiatric Disability of has the right to apply to a Regional Rehabilitation Basket Committee and present “an individual rehabilitation plan”. In a meeting with the committee, the person will be eligible to receive formal resources (services and rehabilitation interventions) so he/she can reach his personals goals and implement their individual plan.
Obstacles to the implementation of the law • Lack of motivation and involvement of the consumer during the plan creation. (domination of paternalistic attitude and forced elements during the process) • A lack of preparation and guidance in implementing the plan after the committee decisions. • "The client’s choice” throughout all the stages of the implementation of the plan is still limited. • Conflict of interests between the consumer ’ will and ability and the economics interests of services providers. • A lack of use of “Individual Rehabilitation Plan” as practice in the services. No systematic evaluation of micro-outcomes. • The policy and the practice in Psychiatric Rehabilitation is not based enough on evidences of the efficacy of the services to enhance personal goals of the clients. (E.B.P.)
The Service Definition The “Individual Rehabilitation Plan – Case management Service” is a new Rehabilitation Service to support persons with Psychiatric Disabilities.

Study Goals Primary: To assess the effectiveness of the RPCS intervention for individuals suffering from severe mental illness compared to individuals receiving regular rehabilitation services (the control group) and compared to baseline. Secondary: To assess different subgroups relative to the efficiency of the service (age, gender, services used etc..).
Methodology Stratification and randomization: based upon a service-use and age stratification procedure. Wave 1 within the first 2 weeks or 4 meetings of service inception. Wave 2 after 20 month. Assessment based upon 3 sources: Structured face to face interviews Clinician ratings Ministry of Health database Two regions studied (Center North/South). Two control groups (Within & outside [Haifa]-of RPCS region)
83% 86%
Stratification Results for ‘Veteran’ Users: expected vs. final sample* *User status was primarily based upon the use of housing services (from intensive to slight use). If no housing facility was used, user status was based upon the use of vocational services (from intensive to slight use). Information for this classification was provided by the Ministry of Health. Results based upon experimental and control ‘Veteran’ sample. ‘New’ users didn’t use any services and were thus not part of the stratification procedure.
Interviews done since study inception: Overall Monthly
Primary findings: Characteristics of 925 participants New Veterans * Haifa North South Status Region 59% are study participants and 41% control group *Within the ‘New’ category there are between 15-25% veteran ‘Revolving door’ service receivers
Characterization of study and control groups Most participants are single and with only basic or lower education *p<.001
