LEAP (Listen-Empathize-Agree-Partner®)
LEAP is a set of evidence-based practices that create therapeutic alliances and trusting relationships with people suffering from severe mental illness. Designed to build and strengthen mutual respect, it helps people who are non-adherent, or partially adherent, to become more cooperative and engaged in treatment and services, including medication, psychotherapy, psychosocial programs, club houses, peer-support, and supervised housing. The mission of The LEAP Institute is to transform the healthcare, educational and government systems by providing evidence-based education, training and ongoing support to individuals and organizations involved in the care and safety of people suffering from severe mental illness, including:
-
Mental Healthcare Professionals
-
Criminal Justice Professionals
-
Peer Support Specialists
-
Family Caregivers
Leap Trainings are sponsored by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities
