NAMI Provider Education

The NAMI Provider Education series provides a fresh, innovative approach to mental health treatment using a dynamic interactive format specially developed for providers. Taught by a team of volunteers, including mental health professionals, consumers, and family members, the series has received an overwhelmingly positive response from professionals at public mental health agencies and hospitals across the country.

NAMI Provider Education seeks to introduce mental health professionals to the bio-psycho-social model of collaborative treatment through a better understanding of:
  • The lived experiences of mental illness.
  • Stages of adaptation to psychiatric medications and treatment.
  • Adjustments and coping strategies made by consumers and family members.
  • Positive outcomes of collaborative treatment where consumers, family members, and professionals work together as a team.​

Learning Objectives:
  • Describe three components of the bio-psycho-social model of collaborative treatment. 
  • List the three stages of emotional recovery to trauma, as described in this series.
  • Describe a principle of Supportive Psychotherapy to help a client and family move forward to Stage III: Conscious Choice and Action.
  • Relate three accounts of lived experience of mental illness. ​

Who Should Attend: 
Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Case Managers, Therapists, Social Workers, Psychiatric Technicians, Drug and Alcohol Counselors, Residential Caregivers, RNs, Outreach Workers, Vocational/Job Counselors, and all others serving individuals with serious mental illnesses and their families in Santa Cruz County.

Participant Perspectives:
“I can’t say enough about the Provider Education Program.  When I went through the course, I kept thinking ‘what a wonderful learning experience that all our staff need to have.’  The five members of the teaching team were great.  I have been working at the hospital for 20 years, and this is one of the best programs I have been through for staff.  We have worked hard over the years to create a more humanistic and compassionate culture.  This program will definitely help us in that direction.”

-– Assistant Clinical Director, Utah State Hospital
