Best Practices in Whole Person Care: Fall 2023
Providing compassionate, high-quality care for individuals and families we serve requires an abiding commitment to understand and implement best practices. Through ongoing research and lessons learned, we understand what it takes to effectively address the complex needs of people who have been marginalized and to support them in a pathway towards stabilization, recovery, and wholeness.
In this 5-week course, grounded in a whole-person care framework, we will identify a range of person-centered, housing-focused, race-equitable, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, peer-integrated, and self-compassionate practices in our work. In addition, we will highlight the impact of stigma and implicit bias, why it matters, and strategies to reduce it.
Throughout the course we will share our collective knowledge and experiences, examine research, discuss case studies, and engage in practice activities. Participants will also have access to articles, fact sheets, handouts, video examples, and quiz questions to augment learning.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe four elements of the mindset and heart-set of whole-person care
- Explain at least two strategies for reducing our own stigma and implicit bias
- Identify and describe three principles of trauma-informed practice
- Explain how motivational conversations use a guiding approach
- Identify three benefits of integrating peer providers in service delivery
- Name three guiding principles of fostering recovery and wellness
