Practice standards
3
Series of three webinars
Today’s Agenda
• Brief review of Webinar 1: Engaging the Consumer
• Brief review of Webinar 2: Engaging the family member(s)
• The CCFC Approach (CDP)
4
Webinar 1 ReviewEngaging the Consumer
• Open and frank discussion about involving others (family, close friend) to support one’s treatment and recovery
• Emphasis is on transparent description of CCFC, especially showing the consumer what information will be part of the consultation
• Use of a structured decision making guide that is a tool for both the consumer and the clinician
5
Defining CCFC with the ConsumerWhat is it?
This means defining the focus as well as the limits of the consultation process
Why is this important?
• To insure that the expectations of the consumer are met. The consumers decision was based on the clinicians description of the purpose and focus of the CCFC
• To insure that the information about the CCFC services provided to family members via the CCFC brochure and phone conversations will be honored.
• To insure that the CCFC will not evolve into family therapy which requires more time and specialized clinician training and supervision.
• To keep the focus on the nature of consultation: Information, education and general guidance
How is this done?

Defining CCFC with the consumer:Key points (con’t)
• CCFC is a brief service (1-3 meetings which is decided on by all parties)
• There are limits to the CCFC service– Highly meaningful concerns and issues that
go beyond the scope of the CCFC may be addressed by other resources and services in the agency or community
– CCFC is not designed to solve complex and long standing problems and conflicts.
7
Defining CCFC with the consumer:key points (con’t)
• CCFC is primarily an approach that:– Establishes a partnership among the consumer,
family members and clinician who is familiar with the consumer
– Emphasizes information, education and general guidance
– Enables the clinician and consumer to obtain family member(s)experience and ideas that may contribute to the quality of the service plan
– The consumer’s preferences and wants are at the center of the CCFC approach

CCFC Decision Guide: A Shared Decision Making Tool to Inform and Engage the Consumer
• Designed to assist clinicians with the informing and engagement process with consumers of mental health services
• Tool to aid the consumer with their decision making process on the specifics of who to include (or not to include) in their recovery process, when, where, how and for what purpose.
(This can be found on the FI website)
Webinar 2 Review:Engaging the Family Member(s)
• Provide family member(s) with a clear understanding of the purpose and limits of a CCFC
• Invitation to participate in a brief CCFC extended by consumer, clinician or both
• Use of a CCFC brochure that provides family member(s) with information that assists the family member to make an informed decision about getting involved

Overview of the approach
The CCFC has three major aims:– Identifying and engaging others to be part of the
consumers circle of support. It is an approach to promote the initial & subsequent contact between the family and the clinic. It could also serve as an opportunity to reconnect with families whom you have already had contact, in a formal manner
– Create an opportunity for the clinician to learn from the experiences of the consumers family member(s)
– Offer family members information and guidance that may increase their willingness and ability to support their loved one’s treatment and recovery

Consumer Centered Family Consultation Short-term Intervention

Connecting
What is it?
Connecting means the use of your personal communication and listening skills to build rapport and establish trust
Beginning the meeting:• Welcoming and appreciating the efforts of the consumer
and the family to attend this meeting• Introduce self: role in the program and role as a family
consultant• Social conversation- small talk to enhance comfort (note:
in some cultures there is a preference for the professional to maintain a higher status and a more formal demeanor)
• Ask family and consumer if they have any other questions about the CCFC meeting
20
Connecting
Throughout the engaging process and the
CCFC meetings, the clinician is continually
connecting with both the consumer and the
family member(s)
How?– Receiving and giving information in a
transparent manner– Emphasizing consumer strengths, family
strengths and hope for recovery– Listening and empathizing
