A rapidly evolving public system of care in California can leave behavioral health practitioners inadequately prepared to contribute. A new book, inspired by the Transforming System text, this presents a current, comprehensive overview of healthcare reform in California. A diversity of personal perspectives from within the system is included as well as practical guidelines for conducting Recovery-oriented therapy, assessment and documentation. It is a relevant, user-friendly resource for educators, supervisors, trainers, clinicians and future public system providers. In a truly collaborative effort, the book was written by policy leaders, professors, community and county behavioral health managers, employers, clinicians and consumers. It is visionary in addressing anticipated change within the context of what has already shifted and evolved. This book was created to support the public system and to inform the growing behavioral health workforce.
