Educational Activities: Educational Materials

We have videotaped our educational conferences and these videos are available to VA clinicians and researchers who may have been unable to attend the actual events.  In the future, practitioners will be able to receive CE credit for viewing the videos online.  Please contact Katy Ruckdeschel to borrow or obtain a copy of any video. 

In addition to our concern with educating professionals and paraprofessionals, our MIRECC is committed to educating patients and their family members about mental illness and comorbidity. MIRECC staff have developed a series of patient and family educational workbooks on the following topics:

· Managing anger
· Relapse prevention
· Addiction
· Comorbidity

These resources are compiled into a library, and are available to researchers, clinicians, families, and patients.  For more information on the patient and family educational workbooks, please contact Dennis Daley.

The VISN 4 MIRECC produces a quarterly newsletter, the "MIRECC Messenger," which may be accessed online or by subscription. Please contact Katy Ruckdeschel to subscribe to the MIRECC Messenger.
