W93: Fostering Recovery: Meeting People Where They Are “At”
Steven Sawicki, MHSA
1.5 hours Focus: Clinical Integrated Interventions & Recovery Supports
Description:
The workshop focuses on community stabilization, engagement and recovery. Co-occurring disorders are often
wrapped around homelessness, joblessness and other difficulties. The addition of substance use/abuse also
often raises legal and moral issues when it comes to finding treatment and services. Staff training in providing
integrated services and in ways to work with people in a variety of circumstances and situations is necessary,
as is using evidence- and stage-based interventions. Learn the initial steps needed to start down the path of
person-centered service provision and to be part of a recovery-centered process.
Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:
• Identify roadblocks often put in the path of recovery;
• Name three critical steps to community integration;
• Distinguish between the stages of stabilization and engagement;
• Discuss means of truly meeting people where they are “at.”
