Purpose

It's important to understand the unique challenges people and families experience when facing a mental health challenge: social isolation, complex family dynamics and the unpredictability of illness.

This program offers the tools health care professionals need to combine the medical and recovery models of care so you can better serve your clients. It's designed to help enhance the relationships you have with the person in your care and with their family.

Educational Need

There is a chronic shortage of mental health providers. In Iowa, 89 of Iowa’s 99 counties are designated as a mental health professional shortage area. Nearly 60% of adults with a mental illness did not receive mental health services in the previous year. This educational activity will address the need for mental health continuing education within the health professions. The educational program will address stigma within the health professions, increase knowledge and understanding by participants of patients living with a serious mental illness, the experiences of family members with a loved one with a serious mental illness, and how providers can improve patient outcomes using collaborative care model.

Objectives

  • Recognize the traumatic impact that mental illness has on the person and the family, even in times of wellness.
  • View lived experience as an important perspective that enhances the care health care professionals provide.
  • Learn about the collaborative model of care and how to incorporate it into their treatment services.
  • Learn the emotional stages of response to mental illness experienced by the individual and their family.
  • Identify why health care professionals may want to refer families and caregivers to NAMI programs.
