I simply would say these Ted talk video should be viewed by all providers and members in the mental health field.
Secondly, words such as powerful, intense and real, which we all need to see and read more of, real life living situations.

I love the first and second person accounts, again certainly brings home the need for more peer to peer relationships and Peer support specialist need to be praised for the work they do in all Behavior Health Home services.

I certainly prefer person-driven and recovery based ‘treatment’/ recovery/ approach. Side bar to my work as a Home Health Coordinator, I try my hardest to never say Mine client, I usually say our client, we work as a team.

I will bring to my profession from this excellent material the many other perspectives from all of you that have engaged and shared your experiences with the rest of us.

Generally, I find and feel it difficult to indicate and express my own strengths whereas it can be much easier to see and explain strengths within the individuals we work with daily.
I discovered that I am a good active listener and do provide insight, somewhat, positive to assisting clients in seeing or experiencing something different from their own perspectives.

Something I have started doing more in my professional then earlier is now is I give situational examples that I have either experienced or colleagues have.

I typically do not do a lot of writing personally, i do a lot for my job as a Home Health Coordinator. It is somewhat funny in a way because we explain to our clients the benefits of writing in general but we seem to be the last, most of the time, to input this into our daily lives.

I do feel writing can open up many different feeling we have closed off from self and others.

I think and feel it can be rewarding and very much an eye-opening for self and client to explore and read their writing.

I work for Penquis CAP as a Home Health Coordinator in the BHH Adult program in the Bangor area.
Since obtaining my BSW in 2007 I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years in various roles.
I really like Patty Morini statement, i am too interested in this course to learn what i dont know and expand what i do know.
