Boston University: Recovery Model Through ‘Innovations Institute’

The conventional psychiatric model of “mental illnesses” as incurable biological disorders requiring lifetime medical management is undergoing a paradigm shift – away from hopelessness, and toward recovery

This new model is built on the foundation of peer support, and consumer-based advocacy, with a focus on system transformation.  It is no small change; its time has come.

In April of this year, Boston University’s Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation held a unique conference – From Innovations to Practice: The Promise and Challenge of Achieving Recovery for All.

The Innovations Institute of Boston University, is now offering a series of online video courses based on the recordings of the top presenters from the conference. 

There are 14 courses – convenient and affordable.  They can be taken anywhere there is Internet access – to include home or office – day or night.  Most cost only $10 or $15!

You do not have to be a professional to take these courses.  They are open to anyone.  If you are a professional – continuing education credits are offered through a variety of accrediting organizations – APA, ASWB, NBCC, and many others.
