Living With My Illness: Self-Supportive Integrative Living: A Mental Health Professional'S Guide To Helping Mentally And Dually Diagnosed Individuals Live A Fulfilling Life

Perfect for beginner clinicians within various levels of the mental health field, as well as clients themselves, this literature is an education and training piece that guides in helping individuals with mental illnesses and dual diagnosed learn how to get the most out of life through the usage of a self-supportive integrative approach. This model is designed to help adults whose mental health/behavioral health, psychosocial, vocational, and environmental deficits present barriers to effectively living within their natural communities. It seeks to help these individuals with learning appropriate skills necessary for obtaining and maintaining self-sufficiency through increasing their abilities to function independently in their community within a range that is feasible for them. The model provides structure and acts as a guide for self-supported life management through psycho-education and ongoing practice/interventions as related to various dynamics of the individual's life (social, vocational, educational, psychosocial, and overall functioning). This model is currently still developing and unproven, but seeks to provide valuable contribution to the mental health field.
