In the first part of this series on treatment planning, we focused on what constitutes a treatment plan. If you remember, “A treatment plan is a document outlining the proposed goals, plan, and therapy method to be used by you and your professional. This plan directs the steps the mental health professional and you must take to help you heal.”
This article will focus on what encompasses a treatment team and how having one can help you heal safely and productively.
What is a Treatment Team?
You might be wondering, what is a treatment team? The phrase refers to all the people who are working with you to help you heal. This team includes both mental health professionals, those in the field of medicine, and others you may not have thought about. Each treatment team member has specific skills and unique roles in your treatment process, and they work together, along with you, to reach your goals of healing.
A treatment team is comprised of unique individuals with special training, skills, and education that make them vital to reaching your optimum mental and physical health. While each team member is critical, each role they play is different, yet they work together as partners.
A treatment team is a partnership of specialists, with each member having a job to do and agreements to keep. Their goal is not to run your life for you but to allow you to grow and heal so that you can take the reigns and have a more prosperous and healthy relationship with yourself.
