Interventions begin with a comprehensive medical-psychiatric diagnosis and a functional assessment by board certified psychiatrists and experienced clinicians. This provides the interdisciplinary team with a description of the person’s psychiatric impairments, level of behavioral functioning, and the community supports he or she needs. The team then works with the individual to develop an individualized plan that reflects the person’s preferences, culture, strengths, goals and movement toward recovery. In addition, the team provides the individual’s family or significant others with a description of the supports the individual will require to move toward recovery.
