Adjustment Issues

Rural residents with brain injury have difficulty in accessing care from qualified psychologists for consequent cognitive, emotional and behavioural symptoms. We examined high-quality videoconferencing to enhance care for persons with brain injury in three areas: cognitive assessment, psychotherapy and rural mental health training. The assessment study evaluated 52 outpatients seen for diagnostic visits over videoconferencing, and compared their experiences with those of 52 age- and diagnosis-matched controls seen in person. Persons seen via telemedicine were more likely than controls to want to repeat their experience and more satisfied than were the neuropsychologists who examined them. In the psychotherapy study, neurorehabilitation patients were seen via videoconferencing for therapy related to brain injury or stroke. Persons receiving psychotherapy were less likely than persons receiving assessment services to want to repeat their experience. In the training study, 39 rural mental health providers were trained via videoconferencing, and trainees demonstrated significant improvement on tests of knowledge about brain injury. Trainees formed a network of mental health provider referrals for persons with brain injury in a wide geographic area. Given adequate training and ongoing support, rural clinicians can treat many brain-injury adjustment issues locally, reserving specialist consultation for emergency or complex problems.

Spiritual Competencies

Religion and spirituality are areas of diversity and multiculturalism that have yet to be comprehensively addressed in most mental health training programs. Without this type of training, many practitioners lack the competence and confidence to engage in spiritually competent care–clinical practice that recognizes the importance of religion and spirituality in people’s identity, worldview, meaning-making and, therefore, their psychological well-being. Emerging research on treatment outcomes and client preferences, as well as professional ethical mandates, support the need for training in spiritual competencies for mental health care. To address the gap between current professional training and the needs and realities of clinical practice, we have developed an online training program to assist practitioners in building their competency and comfort levels in integrating religion and spirituality into treatment. Spiritual Competency Training in Mental Health (SCT-MH) is a seven hour asynchronous, online program consisting of eight modules. The modules are designed to develop basic competency in 16 empirically-derived spiritual competencies in mental health. The content was derived from numerous instructional materials and peer-reviewed publications, with input from leading experts in the field of spirituality and mental health. It is a multidisciplinary program, allowing mental health providers from any discipline and orientation to participate. The material is applicable for working with clients with a wide range of mental health issues from diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds. In this manuscript, we will discuss how the program was developed, what it entails, who it was developed for, and future efforts to test it empirically.
