Study Overview
Brief Summary
Recovery-oriented services are becoming popular in the mental health field. However, recovery-oriented services are still in the beginning stages in Taiwan. Many professionals do not know how to implement recovery-oriented services. More effort should be made to improve mental health services in Taiwan. Hence, the aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the Grow to Recovery Train-the-Trainer program.
Detailed Description
The study will verify the effectiveness of the Train-the-Trainer program with the cluster randomized controlled trial design. The resesarchers will recruit 10 psychiatric rehabilitation organizations, including 80 mental health professionals and 160 people with mental illness. The professionals of the intervention group will receive a online training and then conduct a 5-month recovery group. The organization-level and service user assessments will be collected to examine the overall outcomes.
