The New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS) and The University of Pennsylvania Collaborative on Community Integration have joined forces to bring to you a compilation of presentations focused on the promotion of community integration and full social inclusion of persons in recovery. These presentations are from the NYAPRS 5th Annual Executive Seminar on Systems Transformation, held on April 23 – 24, 2009 in Albany, New York. The Proceedings includes an introduction to the topic followed by the seminar agenda and Workshop PowerPoint presentations, without modifications and with full credit. This groundbreaking seminar focused on promoting “A Life in the Community” and included three critical themes: Service Transformation – featured perspectives from national and state leaders on transformative program design and financing for psychiatric emergency services, clinics, continuing day treatment programs and Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS). -Integrated Care – innovative practices and systems integration initiatives addressing issues including integrating service systems and efforts to overcome state agency barriers to promoting a life in the community for all people with disabilities. -Community Integration – presentations from national and state leading experts in statewide and local systems transformation toward increasing employment, economic integration, homeownership,education and parenting outcomes for people with psychiatric disabilities. We believe that the Proceedings will assist all of us in extending our efforts to promote individualized and integrated person-centered support to help people with psychiatric disabilities achieve their life goals. It is our hope that the Proceedings will draw attention to the groundbreaking work that each of the seminar presenters are doing, as well as the importance of promoting community integration and the full social inclusion of persons in recovery.
