Savannah: Model Cities Community Mental Health Program. Final Report.
Georgia Univ., Athens. Center for Continuing Education.
This report details the development of a comprehensive and coordinated continuing education program of mental health training for professional and paraprofessional workers engaged in the delivery of human services to clients who live in a special catchment area formerly known as the Model Cities areas of Savannah, Georgia. The thrust of the training is, first, to help professional, paraprofessional and indigenous community caretakers recognize mental health problems which interfere with their relationships with their clients and intervene more directly and efficiently to alleviate some of these constraints; and second, to develop a training program which will be responsive to the changing needs of all participants. The training program is intended to be flexible enough to serve the needs of workers in diverse agencies and communities and to be applied across a broad spectrum of human service delivery systems. Included in the appendix are a number of inventories of mental illness attitudes and a locus of control and counselor evaluation scale with a statistical analysis of the responses of trainees. There are also sample forms used by trainees: a Client Social History Blank, Log Sheets and Post Session Evaluation Sheet. (Author/DOW)
