Do you feel like there is more that you \u2018should\u2019 know than what you do know, about the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Disorders, (The DSM), figuring out what the real service needs of your clients are based on what they are saying, or not saying; completing service documentation notes like psycho-social assessments, service plans, service notes and how to make the most of internal and external supports to get your needs met? <\/p>\n
Well, you are not alone. Here in Stage Two, that is what will be covered. We’re going to demystify the DSM and outline steps to provide excellent services for the people you work with! <\/p>\n
We will begin with Step 4: Demystifying the DSM. Here, we will cover the history of the DSM; review the multiaxial classifications system, (a great foundational way to approach the information) which will then lead to the way the material is being viewed today. It includes encouragement for all, to look at challenges from one person to the next on a scale of dimensionality, and additionally related factors, as opposed to absolutes. Step Four includes a 5-hour video, a 70-pg downloadable workbook, and additional material in the dedicated portal.<\/p>\n
Step 5: All About Services, provides a discussion about assessment areas, and the use of \u201cAssessment as a Change Agent.\u201d It includes assessment areas to consider; how to view the experiences and possible related impacts on the whole person, in service provision; a review of concepts from Motivational Interviewing and the Stages of Change, in approaching change, and minimizing conflict and lastly, service documentation. Here how to write progress notes, service plans, psycho-socials, and review tips to meet documentation requirements, will be covered. A case example will be presented, including assessment areas, (one without housing service needs, the other with housing service needs) and service grids, to visually display potential areas of overlap, integration, and influence. Step Five includes five videos totaling 20 hours and 17 minutes, a 129-pg downloadable workbook materials (with 8 additional downloadable pages to print for reference).<\/p>\n
Step 6: Making the Most of Resources, covers step by step instruction on making the most of internal and external resources and supports, how to get out of the \u201csilo\u201d \u2013 feeling isolated, and at the same time, learn where you stand and what you can do in your agency from a managerial point of view, even if you are a manager. Highlights include skill development to assist in problem solving, resolution, and collaboration for more support for you, your teams, and the persons you serve. Step six has a 2 hour video, and a 42-pg downloadable workbook.<\/p>\n
Stage Two, includes a combined total of 27 hours and 17 minutes of video instruction, and 241 pages of downloadable digital Workbook materials. Additional written material has been included in the portal, up to Step 4. Bibliography and reference material from Stage One through Stage Two are available here via download for future use, some of which have also been included in your downloadable Workbook as active links.

Does what you don\u2019t know and what you think or feel you \u201cshould\u201d know about providing services, make you anxious? Well, you are not alone! Many of us have felt or feel that way.<\/p>\n
