Discussion: Halfway House for the Mentally Ill
Visiting a halfway house
Talk with human services workers or the contact person about their programs that employ behavioral or cognitive interventions or models. Areas to be explored:
1. What population participates in the program?
2. Who presents the program or interventions?
3. How is the effectiveness of their interventions measured?
4. How did they determine a need for the program?
5. Do they have plans for other programs or interventions which use behavioral or cognitive models and techniques?
6. What other models and theories are represented in their programs?
