Sometimes clinicians are unwilling to refer people diagnosed with mental illness to supported employment programs. They fear increased stress may lead to relapse. Drawing on her experience of recovery after a diagnosis of schizophrenia and her work helping to develop the OnTrack model of coordinated speciality care for people with early psychosis, Pat Deegan will present a recovery-oriented framework for managing risk and supporting a person’s desire to work.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, participants will:

Learners will be able to apply a recovery-oriented risk framework in their mental health practice;
Learners will be able to differentiate the Duty to Care from the Dignity of Risk; and,
Learners will understand how to navigate the Neglect/Overprotect Continuum.
