This spring Diana Wydo, North Carolina’s Regional Director, Dana Jackson Barnes, PSR Program Director, Stacy Smith, QI Training Director, and Autumn Coffey, PSR Program Director, facilitated a training on starting and running a psychosocial rehabilitation program through the NC Council of Community Programs.

Ms. Barnes has been the Program Director at Building Foundations since 2007.  She has over 10 years experience working in psychosocial rehabilitation programs both in hospitals and in the community.  She has her bachelor’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in therapeutic recreation.  Ms. Smith was the Program Director at Cary Clubhouse from 2008-2010 and is currently the QI Training Director for North Carolina.  She has over eight years experience working in psychosocial rehabilitation programs.  She has her bachelor’s degree from Nazareth College of Rochester in music and her master’s degree from North Carolina State University in counselor education.  Ms. Wydo, LCSW, is Regional Clinical Director of FHR and has over 13 years of experience in community-based services in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and California. Ms Wydo obtained her MSW from Marywood University and Addictions Counseling Certification from Misericordia University in Pennsylvania.

The target audience for this training is an agency considering adding psychosocial rehabilitation services to their programs.  It will cover the endorsement process, service definition, curriculum development and budget/authorization process.

The first training was completely sold out. The NC Council has already requested FHR staff to facilitate another training at the same location, the Royal Conference Center, located at 3801 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC. The date is to be set around the end of May.  It is open to the public, but seating is limited so pre-registering is highly recommended.
