Pushing the frontier in Evidence Based Practice

• Early Psychosis TrainingsEarly intervention in psychotic illness vastly improves outcomes for clients, resulting in reduced symptoms, improved social and work functioning, and a higher quality of life. In this program, you will learn about a treatment approach that makes recovery from psychosis, - and perhaps, even prevention of psychosis – possible. This Series is only open to All FSA staff.
• Raising the Bar in Geriatric ServicesEach seminar will include a one-hour didactic training and a one-hour case presentation to highlight the relationship between theory and practice. This Series is only open to FSA Geriatric providers and FSA CAP providers.
• Strength Based Case ManagementThe Felton Institute has designed a strength-based case-management training for both professional and paraprofessional case managers for the City of San Francisco. A pilot of this program is being offered to the Department of Aging and Adult Services in 2008.
• CIRCECIRCE is FSA's Electronic Charting System. CIRCE, which stands for Consumer Integrate Record of Care, was implemented in June 2006 by all FSA's mental health programs document services. We have continual on-going trainings on CIRCE for new users and managers. If you want more information on our application, please contact Melissa Moore PhD.
• Cultural diversityCultural diversity is multi-dimensional practice, which impacts how we view our clients, our co-workers, and ourselves. The purpose of this workshop is to enhance how we as an Agency view strength-based services through a culturally-sensitive lens.
• Motivational InterviewingIn this highly interactive, skills-focused training, participants will learn and rehearse motivational interviewing. This empirically validated, clinical approach works especially well with clients who are highly resistant to or ambivalent about changing.
