CAOT-BC Mental Health and Substance Use Practice Network Meeting - (free for members, $20 + tax for others)

Date: September 11, 2019

Time: 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific Time

Location: Teleconference

Topic: So you work in Mental Health & Substance Use (MHSU), and you’ve just gotten a referral to do a Functional Assessment…

Description: Join us to have a lively, 45-minute discussion on MHSU Functional Assessment questions such as:

• Where is there potential to improve practice (individually? in my team? in my organization?)
• What about my current practice is working well? What processes/resources can I share that have streamlined my MHSU Functional Assessments?
• Does my organization have any tools (e.g. Clinical Practice Guidelines, Decision Support Tools) to help clinicians? How have these been supportive? And where is there room for updating these?
• What new learnings can be extracted from current literature?
• How should my MHSU assessment look similar to an assessment done by colleagues in MHSU? in non-MHSU settings?
• Where is there room to use standardized assessment tools (including recovery-specific tools, such as the C-PROM)?
• Where is there room to opt to not use standardized assessment tools at all?

Please note:

The meeting will be held via GoToMeeting.
