Some practical tips on how this community of practice (CoP) can help us learn together about transition and recovery practices using the ATR

This Community of Practice (CoP) site examines the use of the The Assertive Community Treatment Transition Readiness Scale© (ATR) to support recovery and transition practices.

The Eastern Ontario ACTT Network participating teams and others in Ontario are working with the ATR pilot evaluation working group to support teams to further strengthen their everyday steps to promote recovery, community integration and client transition within the unique care system and community resources of each team.

If you have difficulties posting, I can help you post or post on your behalf if needed - bill.dare@theroyal.ca or Dialog Tool (top right hand corner)
There are various files on right hand side, with resources, though many of them are also linked via the topic discussions as well
Once you are registered with EEnetconnect, you really can control eenetconnect information going to your email account if it is getting too busy on your email ... go to MANAGE menu, notifications, go to bottom of it and go for weekly digest. Getting too much email notices from this site is the greatest turn off.

More background on a CoP's potential

The CoP will share information about our pilot's progress in using the ATR assessment for transition from ACT scale, provide updates on Gary Cuddeback's work on transition from ACTT as well as the work of other researchers and practitioners who are focused on approaches to improve Recovery and Transition practices in ACTT.

While Gary Cuddeback has done the initial validation of the tool, the pilot evaluation group is working with him to develop further analysis of the ATR and its usefulness in informing transitions. Please see the background article about the pilot http://eenet.ca/products-tools...ransition-readiness/ that describes our initial start up and vision.

This CoP aims to draw on and share both front line clinician and manager experience with the clinical and structural components and the issues and innovations your team encounters. The vision of the CoP is that through dialogue and knowledge sharing, evidence based practices on transition and recovery can be further developed and engaged with by teams.

Most of us on the front line already share with others on a daily basis our individual practice wisdom. The CoP will help us all to bridge research and practice. This CoP, while virtual, will complement the other ways we are communicating and sharing knowledge to advance the recovery steps of the people we work with. Etienne Wenger, a leader of the CoP model describes it as,

“a willingness to share ideas, expose one’s ignorance, ask difficult questions, and listen carefully.” (from -Cultivating Communities of Practice, 2002).

Your participation in the CoP, can take many forms from perhaps, simply using the site to think about a client you are working with and their challenges to greater integration into the community, to co-writing an article with others. Just like the ATR scale and other transition from ACTT practices, the CoP model and theory is itself in early stages of development.
