3157.0 Mental Health and Mental Illness: Communities Supporting Resilience and Recovery

Monday, October 29, 2012: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Oral
The availability of community resources has a critical impact on the capacity of clients to build resilience, manage symptoms and reconnect with their life path. A variety of practical strategies are described, based on 'participatory action research,' that behavioral health systems can use to help clients regain interdependence with their communities. This session will be useful to people who seek to develop policy, design programs, or offer interventions that are based on clients' experience of "what works."
