It was predicted that by the 21st century people of color would be the new majority. The impact upon the future work force has been recognized by the corporate world, and businesses are beginning to address the issues of managing a multicultural workplace. Addressing cultural diversity and differences is relatively new in the mental health arena. This paper will attempt to point up some of the challenges faced, the barriers to be addressed, and historical problems that exist. Also, some suggestions will be put forth to help mental health professionals and organizations work toward becoming more culturally competent. This paper will not deal with any particular culture in depth, but will attempt to identify and highlight the common cultural barriers that exist with Asians, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans, and African Americans that must be addressed by the mental health system to achieve cultural competency.","PeriodicalId":166369,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatric Rehabilitation Skills","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116166371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Well being also includes being able to improve one's life through education and the building of good relationships. The absence of these elements is faced by people who have experienced mental illness, and thus, in addition to being challenged by the illness, they are also challenged by the social consequences which are the result of the absence of the elements of well being. This paper elaborates on these issues and the difficulties faced by people with mental illness. People who experience mental illness are challenged not only by their illness, but also by the social consequences, which follow or even exacerbate their illness. The impact of poverty, homelessness, inadequate and unsafe housing, low quality or no physical health care, and lack of or interrupted education and unemployment on the lives of mental health consumers/survivors is incalculable. These social consequences are the “side effects” which result from the inadequate system of care for persons with mental illness. This paper further expands upon these challenges of daily living for those who struggle with mental illness.","PeriodicalId":166369,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatric Rehabilitation Skills","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124455648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some indicate it can never happen for people who are seriously mentally ill, others say improvement can take place, and still others insist that people can fully recover. The following review of literature on recovery provides definitions of recovery from the writings of those who have lived it, and describes studies that show people do recover and how people recover. There is vast and growing literature on recovery, both published and unpublished, of which this article is only an introduction. The overwhelming conclusion from both those who have lived recovery and those who have tried to systematically study it is: that recovery is possible, and that it takes both individual determination and the support of others in order to be accomplished.","PeriodicalId":166369,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatric Rehabilitation Skills","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126589060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The equivalence between the original and simplified Chinese versions was then verified with participants recruited from a Chinese community. Thirty-one participants with mental disabilities were randomly selected from a mental hospital. The participants were assisted by a qualified occupational therapist to complete the original and simplified Chinese versions within a week period. The exceptionally high intraclass coefficients between the original and simplified Chinese versions (.81 to .99) suggested redundancy of items in the original version and thus provided statistical evidence for the simplification process. It is suggested that the simplified version can be used to replace the original one if time and manpower are limited for clinical and research purposes.","PeriodicalId":166369,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatric Rehabilitation Skills","volume":"228 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116170439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, this is the root cause of the struggles and emotional trauma for many people being “treated” in the mental health system. Many mental health providers do not recognize this, and the questions that would bring this cause to light are never asked. Thus providers cannot and do not provide appropriate assistance, the emotional trauma continues and may be exacerbated by the “treatment,” and deterioration often takes place. This paper clearly describes the consequences of childhood sexual abuse and provides descriptions of some efforts to treat it that have been successful.","PeriodicalId":166369,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatric Rehabilitation Skills","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114305317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It continues today in consumer involvement in a wide array of venues. Consumers are still involved in advocating against inhuman and harmful treatment and in advocating for effective mental health services that are provided with dignity and respect. Consumers are also involved in providing support and sustenance for each other in both informal and formal ways: in mutual self-help and in the provision of consumer-operated services. They are also involved in designing, conducting, and participating in research; and in participating in policy making bodies at the local, state, and federal levels. This paper outlines the many ways in which consumers have been and continue to be involved in impacting mental health treatment, research, and policy.","PeriodicalId":166369,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatric Rehabilitation Skills","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114183908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
