Limitations of Wellness Self -Management
Comprehensive curriculum vs. in depth focus
WSM is not a stand alone service While many individual WSM topics have
research support, this specific combination and format have not been rigorously studied (this project will add to our knowledge base)
Emphasis on verbal learning

Recovery Perspectives
Psychiatric Recovery
“Recovery involves the development of new meaning and purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness.” (William Anthony, Ph.D.)
“… refers to the lived real life experience of persons as they accept and overcome the challenge of the disability.” (Patricia Deegan, Ph.D.)
14
GOOD NEWS“Long-term studies have consistently found
that half to two-thirds of people diagnosed with major mental illness go on to a significant or complete recovery. Data show that even in the second or third decade, a person can still go on to a complete recovery.”
Patricia Deegan, Ph.D.

17
Underlying Values of Recovery
Person Orientation Focus on the person first and
foremost: a persons talents, aspirations, interests, strengths and cultural and religious values
A focus on life roles beyond the role of patient
18
Underlying Values of RecoveryInvolvement Informed decision making related to the
services and treatments received Identifying the personal goals one wants to
improve Having frequent opportunities to read,
discuss and personalize workbook topics Having a voice in deciding the who,what,
when and where of services. Emphasis on participants learning from
each other
19
Underlying Values of RecoveryChoice The opportunity to have options and a
range of possibilities reflecting felt needs and preferences.
Understanding options and evaluating the pros and cons of different choices is emphasized.
Coercion is to be avoided and Informed decision making and not
compliance is the goal.
20
Underlying Values of RecoveryHope and Growth Potential Emphasis on positive possibilities Acknowledges negative realities without a
sense of defeat. Recognizes that the process of recovery is
not linear but often characterized by setbacks as well as progress.
Acknowledge the gains made in our understanding of mental health problems, treatment and rehabilitation.
21
Effective Communication Matters: One approach to building a recovery supporting relationship
Increases understanding for sender and receiver Doesn’t elicit defensiveness, anger or passive
submission Has the main aim of keeping lines of
communication open Imparts accurate information and builds in check
steps to insure message is understood as intended
Leaves both parties feeling respected, heard and open to the others perspective

WSM is about…
CULTURAL COMPETENCE
MAINTAINING AN ASKING STANCE,QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICE DELIVERY
We don’t see things as they are,
we see them as we
are.Anais Nin
33
MAINTAIN AN ASKING STANCE
Consider all consumers as individuals first.
Never assume a person’s ethnic identity tells you anything about his or her cultural values or patterns of behavior.
Treat all “facts” you have ever heard or read about cultural values and traits as hypotheses, to be tested anew with each client.
TURN FACTS INTO QUESTIONS
34
