Pat Deegan’s
“The Journey to Use Medication Optimally to Support Recovery -- Peer Supporter Learning Track” Curriculum is Now Available
Over the course of the past year, Pat Deegan, Ph.D. has developed two curricula focusing on the common challenges people face when considering psychiatric medicine. These resources contain videos, posters and handouts that help people to think through the medication-related challenges that they face. "How to Support People on the Journey to Use Medications Optimally" is designed for prescribers of psychiatric medications as well as treatment team members from other disciplines and is available in CPI’s learning management system. "Using Meds to Help Me Get the Life I Want" is designed for individuals who are taking or considering use of psychiatric medication and can be found on CPI's website (https://practiceinnovations.org/Resources/Using-Meds-to-Help-Me-Get-The-Life-I-Want).
We are pleased to let you know that Pat has created a third, brand new curriculum that is now available in CPI’s learning management system. “The Journey to Use Medication Optimally to Support Recovery -- Peer Supporter Learning Track” is designed for peer specialists/supporters and continues the focus on common challenges related to taking prescribed medications experienced by individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness. 17 videos specifically created for peer specialists/supporters are paired with videos and handouts created for recipients. Peer specialists/supporters are introduced to these challenges and ways that they can engage recipients in conversations about them.
