ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
RECOVERY
imagine the possibilities…
People can and do fully recover from behavioral health disorders
when given the opportunity to build skills and supports. For people
to recover, they need to believe that they are capable for taking
control of their lives and of having dreams, hope, friends, a job,
and a place to live...they need to imagine the possibilities.
This conference will present many of the tools that people need to
help themselves recover, as well as ways for the organizations that
provide treatment to support recovery efforts.
Larry Davidson, PhD, Associate Professor and Director, Yale
Program for Recovery and Community Health and Senior Clinical
Officer and Mental Health Policy Director, Connecticut Department
of Mental Health and Addiction Services, will deliver the keynote
presentation. Author of Living Outside Mental Illness: Qualitative
Studies of Recovery in Schizophrenia, Dr. Davidson has a longtime
interest in the experiences of persons with schizophrenia. His
research focuses on understanding processes of recovery in
psychosis, developing and evaluating community-based and
psychosocial interventions to promote recovery, and community
integration among people with psychosis.
Ms. Joan Erney, JD, Deputy Secretary, Pennsylvania Department
of Public Welfare, Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse,
will also speak. Ms. Erney is committed to transforming our mental
health system to one that truly supports the recovery of the
individuals it serves.
Melody Riefer, Program Manager, Shared Decision Making Project,
School of Social Welfare, University of Kansas, and a self-identified
person in recovery from serious mental illness, is another featured
speaker. Ms Riefer was the Founding Director of The Peer Project,
a 100% consumer-run vocational training program in Atlanta, GA,
is a member of the U.S. Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association,
and serves on the advisory council of the National Mental Health
Consumers' Self-Help Clearinghouse.
Several workshops will provide valuable tools for promoting
recovery.
SPECIAL EVENT
Please join us on April 30, 2007 at 5:00 p.m. at the
Omni William Penn Hotel for a reception followed by a
Consumer-Provider Collaborative of the Allegheny County
Coalition for Recovery dialogue entitled, “Talking to Each
Other: The Words We Use”. This dialogue will focus on the
way we address one another and the meaning and significance
of the choices we make. Speaking to one another respectfully
and in a way that fosters collaboration and partnership is an
important discussion issue for the development of recoveryoriented
services in our region.
A 10-person panel (consumers, family members and
providers) will participate in the dialogue. It will be
moderated by two facilitators and will be an “observed”
dialogue. Observers will have opportunities to participate in
the discussion at various points during the dialogue. Please
indicate on the Registration Form if you plan to join us for
this very special event.
