Public mental health services in the community are broad and continue to expand to address the multiple issues faced by those with serious mental illnesses. However, few studies examine and contrast how helpful consumers and providers find the spectrum of services. The present study examines the services at community mental health service clinics (CMHCs) from the perspectives of providers and consumers. There were 351 consumers and 147 providers from 15 CMHCs who rated and ranked the helpfulness of 24 types of common services. All of the agencies were participating in a Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN). Social support was the highest rated service by both types of respondents, and the creation of a welcoming environment was the highest ranked service by both. There were also areas of disagreement. Consumers identified traditional mental health services (individual therapy and medication services) as being most helpful to them whereas providers selected longer-term services that promote self-reliance (e.g., securing housing, and promoting self-sufficiency) as the most helpful. Understanding how consumers and providers perceive the range of CMHC services provided in usual care is important to develop new targets for intervention. A welcoming milieu and providing social support appear important to both, but significant differences exist between these groups regarding other aspects of services. This holds implications for the design and implementation of consumer-driven services. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved). |
