  and keeps us from being stuck or vulnerable to
  circumstance.

Stages of Change Model (SCM)James Prochaska,
Carlo DiClemente Univ. of Rhode Island

• Change is not an event, it is a process.
• Change does not happen all at once, or by a
  formula.
• Change is not a steady move forward, there are
  various speeds,
• stops, and turns.
• 5 Stages
• Precontemplation No actual intention to change
  behavioral patterns in the near future. Unaware
  of the need or benefit to set change goals.
• Contemplation Considering setting goals around
  changes in ones life.
• Preparation Deciding to take steps in the next
  month, even though they have not done so in their
  recent past.
• Action Starting to take action with intentions
  and goals.
• Maintenance Acknowledging and building upon your
  progress.

Individual Plans Of Service

• What do you want to get out of your participation
  in Clubhouse?
• Know your rights and your options as a mental
  Health consumer!.
• What outcomes do you want to achieve as a result
  of your mental health services?
• Person-centered planning is a process that is
  used to assist people in planning for their
  mental health treatment needs.
• Person-centered planning processes maximize
  independence, create community connections, and
  work towards achieving the individuals dreams,
  goals and desires.

• IPOS Pre-Plan
• You decide date / time / place in cooperation
  with facilitator
• Identifying natural supports whose input and
  support would you like to have in achieving your
  goals? Would you like them to participate in
  your POS mtg.?
• Invitation options for other participants
  verbal, e-mail, written
• Can be a work opportunity at Club, i.e.
  personalized invitations
• Refreshments? Another work opportunity for the
  Club Kitchen!
• Its often best NOT to leave the PSR Clubhouse
  portion of your IPOS up to auspice agency service
  coordinators. Club goals should be developed in
  the Clubhouse, using the goal addendum process,
  or at least done with the participation of
  seasoned Clubhouse colleague(s).

18
Writing Your Goals

• What are appropriate Clubhouse Goals? The
  Clubhouse Standards may generate some ideas
• Clubhouse Standard 15 The work-ordered day
  engages members and staff together,
  side-by-side,in the running of the Clubhouse.
  The Clubhouse focuses on strengths, talents and
  abilities therefore, the work-ordered day must
  not include medication clinics, day treatment or
  therapy programs within the Clubhouse.
• Standard 19 All work in the Clubhouse is
  designed to help members regain self worth,
  purpose and confidence it is not intended to be
  job specific training.
• Standard 20 Members have the opportunity to
  participate in all the work of the Clubhouse,
  including administration, research, intake and
  orientation, reach out, hiring, training and
  evaluation of staff, public relations, advocacy
  and evaluation of Clubhouse effectiveness.

19
Writing Goals, cont

• The Clubhouse Standards outline many
  opportunities for working on goals involving
  Relationships Skill Building Employment
  Housing Education Recreation, and more!
• Standard 23 The Clubhouse assists and
  supports members to secure, sustain, and
  subsequently, to better their employment.
• Standard 28 The Clubhouse is committed to
  securing a range of choices of safe, decent and
  affordable housing for all members. The
  Clubhouse has access to housing opportunities
  that meet these criteria, or if unavailable, the
  Clubhouse develops its own housing program.
• Standard 25 The Clubhouse assists members to
  further their vocational and educational goals by
  helping them take advantage of adult educational
  opportunities in the community. In addition,
  Clubhouses provide in-house educational programs
  that significantly utilize the teaching and
  tutoring skills of members.
• Standard 31 The Clubhouse has recreational
  and social programs during evenings and on
  weekends. Holidays are celebrated on the actual
  day they are observed.

20
Are Your Goals?..

• Current / Relevant?
• Based on individual values and interests?
• Tangible / Measurable?
• How can you determine progress?
• Observable?
• How can you tell if a goal is being worked?
• Attainable?
• Breaking it down into steps (objectives).
  Whats the dream?.. Sometimes we need to
  back-up to go forward.

21
Follow Along - Keeping it Real

• Noting Progress What are good progress
  notes?!
• Standard 5. Members, at their choice, are
  involved in the writing of all records reflecting
  their participation in the Clubhouse. All such
  records are to be signed by both member and
  staff.
• This is great members should be encouraged to
  write their progress notes.
• But, it is the bottom line responsibility of
  staff colleagues to assure that reporting about
  progress toward goal achievement indeed relates
  to the current goals. Always consider whether
  amending a goal is indicated

22
Re-Assessing Goals Progress

• When / how to change your goals ..
• Relevance is the key
• Amending your goals
• Person-centered meetings do not happen once. You
  can request a meeting any time there is a need.
  PCP is a process in which the individual is
  provided with opportunities to reconvene any or
  all of the planning processes whenever he/she
  wants or needs.
