  2. Recovery to Practice Year 1 – Situational Analysis (3/2010 – 9/2011) Year 2 – Develop training outline Year 3 – Develop training manual and pilot test training Year 4 – Continue pilot testing and finalize training Year 5 – Implement training 10/2013 to 9/2014

  3. Situational Analysis: Methodology • Qualitative • Focus groups • Interviews • Discussion forums • Comments from individuals with lived experience • Syllabi review • Review of state documents and training materials • Literature review • Review of professional organizations • Site visits

  4. Situational Analysis: Methodology • Quantitative • CSWE Annual Survey of Social Work Programs • NASW Workforce Studies • Mental Health, United States

  5. Situational Analysis: Methodology • Stakeholders engaged: • Individuals with lived experience of psychiatric conditions • Practitioners • Students • Educators • Field Education Directors • Field Instructors

  6. Social Workers and Mental Health • More than 100,000 social work students enrolled • Master’s level concentrations: • 49 programs offered “mental health” • 39 offered “health and mental health” • 111 offered “direct practice/clinical”

  7. Social Workers and Mental Health • Social workers are estimated to provide almost half of all mental health services. • 36.8% of licensed social workers identify mental health as primary sector of employment.

  8. Positive Findings • Strong theoretical connections • Recognition of the term recovery • Ready “acceptance” of the idea of recovery • Integration of some recovery components • Longstanding commitment to cultural competency and social justice • Some programs have begun to infuse trauma-informed practice • Social workers can provide a unique role

  9. Negative Findings • Dissonance between social work theory and practice • Weak integration of some recovery components (e.g., hope, peer support) • Confusion about definition of recovery • Wide use of medical model and deficits thinking • Only small number infusing recovery as a whole • Need to enact organizational policy change • Funding uncertainty

  10. Recovery-oriented Social Workers • Use hope-inducing behaviors and practices • Believe individuals can and do recover • Amplify clients’ voices • Engage in goal-directed treatment • Facilitate individual choice and self- determination • Include family and significant others (with permission) • Expect life beyond the mental health system - community and social inclusion • Emphasize natural community supports • Recommend peer support networks and services

  11. Comparing the Two Approaches From The Strengths Model(3rd ed.), Rapp & Goscha, 2012, p. 95)

  12. “But we already do that!”

  13. “But we already do that!”

  14. Some Challenges Chronic thinking Practitioner cynicism - It is not enough for the practitioner to engage in a series of empowering practices if the practitioner has no hope that the consumer can achieve recovery (Simon, 1994) - Importance of recognizing the nonlinear aspect of the recovery process

  15. Comments from Alternatives 2010 Caucus “In terms of my recovery process, I was in contact with a lot of different professionals – psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers – and I think the person was helpful regardless of their professional standing. The social workers were most helpful because they did offer that hope, that possibility of recovery, whether they knew what that framework was or not.”

  16. Trauma-Informed Care • Literature clear on importance of recognizing signs of trauma and trauma-informed care • Peers said this was an area where social workers are lacking....

  17. “I felt dismissed, patronized, demeaned and ignored in the system. Everything I was taught as a child in my trauma was reinforced in my journey through the system.” -Alternatives 2010

  18. “The biggest thing that was so frustrating was that, even though it was in the record that I had a traumatic brain injury, they had no under-standing whatsoever of the effects of trauma…. It was me educating them about what I needed.” - Alternatives 2010

  19. Peer Participation in Social Work • Stand-out examples exist • Via peer support • Co-teaching of courses or class guests • Participation in organizational policy “I’ve learned more from my data collecting of personal stories than from any of my mental health courses” - APM Discussion Participant, 2010 Peer participation is not the norm.

  20. Culturally Competent Practice “…Recovery cannot take place outside the context of a person’s culture, sexual orientation, or spiritual beliefs” - Faculty interviewee, 2010 • Necessity of culturally competent practice has been included in: • Conferences/training events • NASW Code of Ethics • CSWE Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards • Needs constant attention
