Behavioral experiments are powerful tools for clinicians to have in their toolboxes. Join us as we outline the components and try out our skills.

St Paul Enhanced Illness Management & Recovery (EIMR) Training, December 7-9, 2016 9:00am-4:00pm

Enhanced Illness Management & Recovery (EIMR)

An emerging evidence-informed intervention, Enhanced Illness Management and Recovery (E-IMR) helps practitioners integrate care for mental and substance use disorders. Innovative and effective, this new care model combines two proven practices: Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) and Illness Management and Recovery (IMR). Practitioners gain a shared language and proven strategies to use when delivering co-occurring disorder care. This new approach helps practitioners and the people they serve identify the interaction between substance use and mental illness. This simultaneous and integrated care delivers education and skills to address both disorders. A Minnesota pilot test demonstrated greater practitioner confidence and higher practitioner competence when using E-IMR.      

Cost: $550

MONTHLY FIRST FRIDAY WORKSHOPS – ST PAUL

Recovery-Oriented Treatment Planning, November 4, 2016 9:00am-12:00pm

Recovery-Oriented Treatment Planning:

Learn to use a recovery-oriented approach when engaging in the treatment planning process by exploring client goals and emphasizing strengths rather than deficits. It is challenging for most providers to conduct treatment planning in a way that prioritizes the client perspective and satisfies agency requirements at the same time. In this workshop we learn how to collaboratively set goals with individuals, translate these goals into the necessary documentation for treatment planning, and follow up on goals to facilitate participant success and ensure that the treatment plan is a living document.                            

Cost: $75 per person
