Description
Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) is an empirically-supported, whole-person, and strengths-based approach for promoting recovery and resiliency for individuals given a serious mental health diagnosis (e.g., schizophrenia). CT-R has been successfully implemented in a variety of mental health settings -- including community teams, outpatient clinics, residential programming, inpatient hospitals, forensic facilities, and sex offender programs -- by providers from multiple disciplines and all levels of experience and education. The approach focuses on building connection and trust, learning and enriching individuals’ aspirations to take action towards a life of personalized meaning. Cognitive therapy strategies provide opportunities for individuals notice and draw conclusions about their active successes and expanding empowerment. The Recovery Map guides this transformative care. It is a user-friendly, one-page form that provides a format and framework for providers to organize the information known about an individual’s interests, passions, and aspirations, along with the challenges they experience. The Recovery Map promotes the exploration of the beliefs activated when a person is at their best and when they are experiencing heightened challenges. Finally, it provides a framework to create practical, documentation-ready strategies, interventions, and clinical targets for treatment activity. After a brief introduction to CT-R, presenters, through case examples, will demonstrate how the Recovery Map aids teams to synthesize information and guide treatment planning, giving voice to each team member to maximize what is known about a person and to create the most thorough and individualized treatment plan. Presenters will show how the Recovery Map changes over the course of treatment, as well as how it can be used to support continuity of care as an individual steps up into less restrictive levels of care. The session will culminate in an exercise where the participants will be able to apply what they have learned by making a Recovery Map together. Participants will leave the session with the understanding of how to use this case conceptualization tool in their work, specifically to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and understanding. The session aim is to empower providers and team members across roles in care to know where to start to connect with individuals who may be more challenging to engage, to maximize quality and quantity of contacts, and to maintain momentum as individuals discover their inner empowerment and actively pursue the life of their choosing in the community of their choosing.
