Subject:

Description:

This course is the first in the series for the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Certificate. Courses in the series focus on a rehabilitative approach to servicing individuals with severe mental illness. This approach is based on the premise that consumers set the goals for the rehabilitation team. The survey course has four major themes: Understanding psychiatric disability and current approaches to treatment; the mental health system and surrounding issues; psychiatric rehabilitation through vocational and skills training; family and community support systems. The orientation of the course is more practical than theoretical and there is considerable opportunity to observe and practice relevant skills. Consumers serve as guest speakers to highlight issues of empowerment and stigma and to increase understanding of consumer experiences with mental health. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course. 150 minutes per week. 3 credit hours.
