Webinar: Person-Centered Planning in Mental Health Systems
Tuesday, June 20, 2023 | 2:30-4:00 PM ET
Register for the June webinar
While person-centered planning is intended to support people to live self-determined lives, it can also be used inappropriately to compel and coerce people into services they don’t want. When done well, person-centered planning has the potential to advance equity by opening multiple pathways to wellbeing. Poorly implemented person-centered planning can deepen existing inequities. This webinar will convene members of the Massachusetts-based Council Against Institutional and Psychiatric Abuse (CAIPA) to explore what person-centered planning should — and shouldn’t — look like.
Presenters:
- Sera Davidow, Filmmaker, activist, survivor
- Ebony Flint, Policy Analyst, Human Services Research Institute; Certified Peer Specialist
- Lionel Frechette, Deaf, multiply disabled queer advocate
- Andy Beresky, Advocate, Wildflower Alliance
- Thomas Brown, Advocate, Mental Health Legal Advisers Committee
Webinar: Person-Centered Community Mental Health Services
Thursday, July 6, 2023 | 3:00-4:30 PM ET
Register for the July webinar
In this webinar, a panel of current and past leadership and people with lived experience of community mental health services in Ashland County, Ohio, will tell the story of how their framework’s principles and values have been operationalized. Panelists will provide information and inspiration for advocates, administrators, and service providers interested in how community mental health services can promote quality of life and well-being at the local level.
This webinar will showcase a framework for community mental health services developed by the Mental Health and Recovery Board in Ashland County, Ohio. Using a three-legged stool model, the Mental Health and Recovery Board has operationalized person-centered practices throughout the county service system. The primary principle of the framework is borrowed from the Hippocratic Oath: do no harm. The three legs, or sets of values, are:
- Recovery and Resiliency
- Trauma-Informed Care
- Medication Optimization
Presenters:
- Steve Stone, Executive Director Emeritus, Mental Health and Recovery Board of Ashland County
- David Ross, Executive Director, Mental Health and Recovery Board of Ashland County
- Jerry Strausbaugh, Executive Director, Appleseed Community Mental Health Center
- James Mooney, MD, Trauma-informed medical provider of internal medicine
- Stacey Roberts, Support Group Facilitator
- Trish Risser, Certified Peer Recovery Supporter
