Saving Melissa

The 7Cs to Cure the Mental Health System

Beschreibung

In this much anticipated book, Attorney Michael Mackniak, co -creator of the Guardian Model for the effective treatment of persons with mental illnesses, describes his parallel struggles with Melissa through the challenging world of mental health services. Mackniak, a young attorney and his client Melissa, a young woman with schizophrenia, find their lives overwhelmed by the confusion, stigma and mystery that shrouds everything associated with mental health treatment. Through careful planning and keen observation Mackniak develops a fail-safe treatment modality that brings relief to Melissa and her family as well as the overburdened and underfunded service system entrusted with her care. Learn about The Guardian Model, Melissa's Project and the key elements that are the foundation for creating an Interrelated Service System. Along the journey the reader will be introduced to several more "Melissas" who present particularly challenging issues for community based providers. Using his time tested and proven system, each of these has found success where it never existed before, allowing individuals to maintain meaningful lives in their communities.
