Download or read book America's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Workforce written by Omri Galinsky and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has prepared these reports to Congress to provide an overview of the facts and issues affecting the substance abuse and mental health workforce in America. SAMHSA's reports cover the behavioural health workforce in its entirety because many data sources and programs report by profession or discipline rather than population served (eg: social workers, psychologists, and counsellors), whether providing prevention services or treatment and whether serving persons with substance use disorders, mental health conditions, or both. Data specific to the substance use disorder treatment workforce will be provided wherever available. This book also includes demographic data as well as a discussion of key issues and challenges such as staff turnover, ageing of the workforce, inadequate compensation, worker shortages, licensing and credentialing issues, and recruitment, and retention and distribution of the workforce. The misunderstandings and often inaccurate perceptions of society about mental illness and addiction as these relate to workforce challenges are also discussed.

Download or read book TIP 35: Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment (Updated 2019) written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
