Subject: CHPNA: Best Practices in Community-based Mental Health Supports
Hello colleagues,
I am working with the Canadian Mental Health Association, Nova Scotia
Division (CMHANS) to develop a training program for community-based support
workers and people who have experience with mental illness. The purpose of
the training program is to develop:
a.. increased support for consumers and families in navigating existing
services in all aspects of community living; housing, education, employment,
and social supports;
b.. increased advocacy support for consumers, family members, and informal
supports;
c.. additional community resources promoting good mental health through
educational opportunities; and
d.. increased cooperation/networking among current services to provide
improved delivery.
We are interested in learning about best practices in this area, and also
the type of components (e.g., advocacy, helping skills,
information on the psycho-social rehabilitation model, recovery models,
community development practices) included in similar training programs.
Once we have the best practice training information compiled, the intent is
to train the community support workers and pilot-test and evaluate the
program in three communities in Nova Scotia. If you know about a resource
you think would be helpful for us, please contact me - I would really
appreciate it!
Best wishes,
Cari Patterson
