How to Connect with Individuals Experiencing Psychosis
By admin on December 11, 2012 in Health and Medical, Mental Health Evaluation / Services, Resources, Support Groups
I recently attended a training at the University of Michigan School of Social Work on “How to Connect with Individuals Experiencing Psychosis.” The seminar was led by Rebecca Hatton, PsyD.
The presentation was excellent, and Dr. Hatton introduced new ways of thinking about and working with someone who is experiencing psychosis. She urged participants to step away from “pathologizing” and consider the possibility that for some individuals psychosis may be a healing process in response to a traumatic experience. The speaker also provided evidence to support that recovery from psychosis can occur without medical intervention. She also provided ideas about how to interact with someone who is experiencing voices.
Please feel free to review the handouts and my notes from the seminar in the attachment below, or contact me with any questions.

Managing Mental Health Concerns
By admin on July 24, 2012 in Education, Mental Health Evaluation / Services, OTHER resources, Resources
From the University of Michigan Depression Center Newsletter, Summer 2012:
Sticking with a treatment plan for depression or bipolar disorder can be extraordinarily difficult. This issue of UPDATE explores the idea of “treatment adherence,” which is roughly defined as following the course of treatment that your health care provider has established with you, whether that treatment involves medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, managing co-occurring conditions, or combinations of these. We discuss why adherence is so important for reaching and maintaining wellness, and offer some strategies for overcoming barriers that may stand in your way.
