More than half of adults with mental healthcare needs in the United States do not participate in any treatment, and when they do, there is a median delay of 11 years before they enter needed care. Healthcare organizations tend to be passive in the face of this pattern of long delays in treatment entry. Their traditional stance is to wait until patients come to them. The problem with this strategy is that it results in long, unnecessary delays, with more suffering and more cost to those individuals, their families, their employers, the broader community, and ultimately to the healthcare industry.Peer Support Specialists and outreach workers can play a key role in helping people make timely decisions to enter needed mental health treatment and supports like self-help groups. Unfortunately, they rarely receive more than minimal training on how to do this effectively and in a way that respects the autonomy and the needs of their clients. This pocket resource provides the tools and strategies to ensure Peer Support Specialists and outreach workers are well prepared for this critically important work.'I don't know of any other resource like this that addresses how to help people enter treatment when they actually need it, and not years later. It focuses on a gigantic need in the mental health field that is generally being ignored at a high cost to our communities. This book is full of practical information and tools that work with people who are ambivalent about getting help.'
