    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2011-04-08) Salyers, Michelle P.; Rollins, Angela L.; Kim, Hea-Won; McGuire, Alan B.; McGrew, John H.
    The ACT Center of Indiana is a research and training center devoted to helping promote recovery from severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. We focus on interventions that are based on the best research evidence, and we emphasize ways to translate research into actual practice. We have current research projects that target different levels of the mental health service system. Here we present research focused on 1) the consumer with mental illness - identifying ways that consumers set treatment goals related to recovery; 2) the staff who work with people with severe mental illness – helping staff stay healthy and engaged in their work; and 3) the programs that support recovery – identifying cost-effective ways to ensure high quality services.

    Recovery from Severe Mental Illness – Pilot Research Paving the Way
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2010-04-09) Kim, Hea-Won; Rollins, Angela L.; Salyers, Michelle P.
    The ACT Center of Indiana is a research and training center devoted to helping organizations provide services to adults with severe mental illness that are based on the best research evidence and promote recovery. We briefly highlight 5 recent pilot studies that ultimately may help improve care. These involve measuring factors that promote recovery (pilot #1), strategies to involving family members in recovery (pilot #2), ensuring active participation of consumers (pilot#3), reducing burnout in staff (pilot #4), and cost-effective ways to measure program implementation (pilot #5).
