10. Our time together today

11. Everyone in health & human services either is now or soon will be busy preparing for a future of integrated primary care and for some version of person centered health homes. There are so many changes to be made. We will begin to shift our emphasis away from disease toward supporting health. We will also start to reduce use of fee-for-service as a way to pay for and be paid for services. Many confusing changes are on our horizon, ready or not. It probably makes sense to start now with an incremental step-by-step approach.

14. Four Cornerstones of Collaborative Helping • Aprinciple-based approach helps with service design at every level to make sure that care is person(al) centered and that cultural knowledge is as important as evidence based practice. • Relational stance becomes “the main thing” so that care providers relate to people as partners in a helping relationship. • Telling and listening to life stories told by people we serve along our many diverse pathways of care and support is maybe the most important servicewe can do. We call this “walking & talking.” • We invite the telling of life stories in a mindset of respectful curiosity. All this requires a subtle kind of discipline.

15. The trick is to make the pivot away from being a percieved expert to become a trusted ally

16. Helping may be in many ways an intuitive process, but good and effective helping is made easier with a practical framework to organize our best intentions. Collaborative Helping maps are used to frame all of our service design and operations, from fully integrated health homes to specialty behavioral care and everything in between and beyond.

17. (collaborative) HELPING is drawn from both evidence-based practice and real life stories told about helping relationships by people from across the nation & around the world.

18. (collaborative) HELPING does draw from Motivational Interviewing, Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapies, Appreciative Inquiry, Multisystemic Therapy, Wraparound and Signs of Safety (from child welfare).

19. And understanding that substance use (at every level of use) is an important health factor for a good many people, we blend everyday ideas about Harm Reduction into our broad (collaborative) HELPING approach.

20. But the familiar kind of (collaborative) HELPING we do everyday has as much to do with the knowledge of families, neighborhoods, community and culture as it does with science or evidence based practice. Both are very important and work best together as parts of a holistic principled framework.

21. Often called “case management” or some other generic term, home and community supportive services occupy a place of critical importance in most all public behavioral health and human service systems in one way or another. Now, home and community work is emerging as a potentially important feature of person centered health homes. They are increasingly identified as community health workers.

22. So we use a framework of Collaborative Helping to think about a “patchwork quilt” of diverse home and community health related assets to be combined with clinical services to support whole person wellness and to promote healthy neighborhoods & communities.
