We generally assume that people get mental healthcare when they need it. There is clear evidence this is not true. More than half of adults with mental healthcare needs in the United States do not participate in any treatment, and when they do, there is a median delay of 11 years before they enter needed care. Healthcare organizations tend to be passive in the face of this pattern of long delays in treatment entry. Their traditional stance is to wait until patients come to them. The problem with this strategy is that it results in long, unnecessary delays, with more suffering and more cost to those individuals, their families, their employers, the broader community, and ultimately to the healthcare industry. . Unfortunately, they rarely receive more than minimal training on how to do this effectively and in a way that respects the autonomy and the needs of their clients. . "I don't know of any other resource like this that addresses how to help people enter treatment when they actually need it, and not years later. It focuses on a gigantic need in the mental health field that is generally being ignored at a high cost to our communities. This book is full of practical information and tools that work with people who are ambivalent about getting help." Charles Drebing, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Boston University School of Medicine, has been a strong advocate for the strategic use of peer support and outreach to better serve adults recovering from mental illness.
