Boards, has provided funding for this initiative through Federal Community Mental Health Block Grant funds.
Overview of Change Agent Training: It is an expectation that individuals with co-occurring disorders have multiple
issues that characterize complexity – not only co-occurring mental health and substance use, but also developmental
disability, medical, legal, housing, trauma, domestic violence, educational and other social issues. Both the mental health
system and the substance abuse system are traditionally designed to operate isolated from one another, with structures,
funding, rules and regulations, clinician training and clinical practices that were not designed for the degree of complexity
individuals and families present every day.
Most simply stated, the vision is to create a welcoming, person-centered, recovery oriented, culturally competent, trauma
informed, co-occurring capable system that is created through stakeholder partnership reflecting the spirit and capacity
of our shared values to serve consumers of the public mental health and substance abuse system. The vision holds the
promise of creating, over time, creative, dynamic, enduring and interrelated systems that:
o Welcome individuals with complex needs into hopeful, caring and integrated relationships;
o Support recovery through empowered partnerships focused on individualized goals;
o Organize all staff to deliver effectively matched services in every setting to help individuals with complex needs
achieve their recovery goals.
Course Objective: The Comprehensive, Continuous, Integrated Systems of Care (CCISC) model is a multi-level
systems change model that has implications for systems, programs, clinical practice and staff competency. The goal is to
use the CCISC model at each PIHP and CA to build partnerships at all levels to create a transformation process in which
every program engages in a quality improvement process and become a co-occurring capable program and all staff move
toward core co-occurring competency. The success of this initiative depends upon the participation of leadership and
empowered Change Agents to create changes at each level of the system.
Purpose of the Training: To coordinate this at the local and state level, MDCH and ODCP are promoting a Change
Agent Training. This training is based on a Michigan specific curriculum developed by Dr. Minkoff and Dr. Cline. These
one-day trainings were already started in January, 2008 and will be offered twice every other month in two locations
through September, 2008.
Effective Change Agents are positioned within a system to link the system leadership with front line workers and
consumers to advocate for policy that supports good clinical practice and to assist in the implementation of policy at the
practice level. Central to that effort is the identification of barriers to good practice whether they are at the system,
program, practice or competency level.
It is recognized that across our state, many PIHPs/CMHSPs/CAs are already engaged in these processes. This is an
opportunity to coordinate these local efforts to maximize resources, identify common barriers, and engage the entire state
as a representative group able to address broad system issues.
Target Participants: Current or interested Change Agent Team members for the Mental Health/Substance Use Disorder
Integrated Treatment Initiative Projects in each community. MDCH will support a team of 10 to 30 Change Agents from
each of the PIHP/CA regions in this effort.
• Consumers
• Substance Use Disorder program administrators and/or other staff
• Mental Health program administrators and/or other staff
• CA/CMHSP/PIHP staff
• Other members as identified by the Project Team
Participants Who Attend This Training Will Be Able To:
1. Identify key elements and roles of Change Agents.
2. Focus Continuous Quality Improvement of the system through the local Change Agent process.
3. Identify, screen and assess individuals with co-occurring disorders in a meaningful way.
4. Function as a systems Change Agent, help your agency, and the system as a whole and identify systemic
barriers to the provision of welcoming, accessible, integrated, continuous and comprehensive services to
individuals with co-occurring disorders and develop strategies to overcome these barriers.
5. Develop systemic structural and process changes to more effectively support the work of front line clinicians and
staff in providing best practice integrated interventions to their clients.

Boards, has provided funding for this initiative through Federal Community Mental Health Block Grant funds.

“Ramping Up Your AOD Treatment
Outcome Management Utilizing a Client-

9:00 Training Begins Promptly
12:00 – 1:00 Lunch (provided)

*two ten minute breaks will be given during the

Where: MACMHB/Impact Training Center
426 S. Walnut, Lansing, MI 48933
About the Presenter: Michael D. Clark, MSW, LMSW, is a substance abuse therapist and a
trainer/consultant to helping professionals and is currently the director of the Center for Strength-
Based Strategies that is committed to the research, development and training of strength-based
strategies for practice and programming. Michael is a registered trainer with the Motivational
Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), specializing in direct practice work with mandated and/or
involuntary clients. Mr. Clark is a member of the Association for Training and Staff Development
(ATSD) and is a consultant for the US Department of Justice, National Training and Technical
Assistance Center (NTTAC). Michael is known nationally as a trainer and consultant to addictions,
child welfare, mental health and criminal justice groups.
Course Description: As a follow up to the many times we have brought Scott Miller to Michigan,
this is a skill building workshop designed to bring theory to practice. First, participants will learn the
importance, effectiveness, and “how to” of using real-time feedback to determine the client’s
perception of the therapeutic relationship and effectiveness of service; both variables associated with
client retention and successful treatment outcomes. Then, working within the CDOI approach, the
workshop will consider how to find and utilize the client’s “theory of change”, as opposed to any
particular therapeutic model, to capitalize on whatever intrinsic motivation the client brings to the
process.
Course Objectives: Participants who complete this course will be able:
• Examine research findings that indicate the therapeutic relationship is more predictive of success
than the treatment model of the clinician
• Consider simple real-time methods for acquiring and utilizing client feedback
• Examine case scenarios to learn how to discover a client’s “theory of change”
Who Should Attend? This workshop contains material appropriate for therapists, counselors and
other practitioners at all levels of practice.

Certification Board for Addiction Professionals to sponsor substance abuse training. MACMHB
