Illness Management and Recovery Recertification

Eligibility: You may take this recertification course ONLY if you have previously completed the full IMR online course or completed the in-person training with Harry Cunningham. If you were trained at your local Center you are not eligible to take this recertification course unless you first complete the full IMR course, which is still available here

This self-paced online course will cover IMR. IMR is an evidence-based practice that empowers individuals to manage their mental health conditions by providing practical information and education. IMR often serves individuals diagnosed with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. The IMR model teaches it is most effective to help individuals define their own goals for recovery and make informed decisions about their treatment after having the necessary knowledge and skills. IMR can be delivered in either an individual or group format over a 6 to 12-month timeframe. This series will focus on the format of individual sessions, but information about group sessions can be found in the toolkit.

Topics covered include:

• Understanding IMR

• Educational strategies

• Motivational strategies

• Cognitive behavioral strategies
