Redesigned Wellness Self-Management Module is Now Available

The Center for Practice Innovations (CPI), is pleased to announce the release of a redesigned module focusing on Wellness Self-Management (WSM), replacing the WSM module that has been available for a number of years.  

 

WSM is a curriculum-based clinical practice designed to assist adults to effectively manage serious mental health problems. The curriculum is organized into a 57-lesson personal workbook that focuses on topics such as recovery, mental health wellness, relapse prevention, and the connection between physical and mental health.

 

This newly revised module:

  • Is shorter and can be completed in 30-40 minutes,
  • Is efficient and provides a comprehensive introduction to WSM,
  • Is designed with links to helpful resources,
  • Is updated to include important information about Wellness Self-Management Plus (WSM+), which is a version of WSM designed for individuals who are simultaneously dealing with mental health and substance use problems,
  • Is focused on competency development by highlighting the skills needed to lead WSM and WSM+ groups, and features video clips of actual group sessions.
