Promoting Multidisciplinary Relationships: A Pragmatic Framework for Helping Service Providers to Work Collaboratively

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 2005

Abstract

Multidisciplinary teamwork is increasingly considered the ideal way to provide mental health services. This is especially the case when working with children or families. However, there is little easy-to-use information available to help practicing professionals recognize and overcome barriers to working in multi-disciplinary settings. There are even fewer resources intended for use across disiplines. This paper offers a practical approach to help mental health professionals identify barriers to teamwork and create solutions to those barriers.

Résumé

Le travail d'équipe multidisciplinaire est de plus en plus considéré la manière idéale de fournir des services de santé mentale, particulièrement pour les cas impliquant des enfants ou des familles. Cependant, les professionels ont peu d'information pour les aider à reconnaître et surmonter les problèmes associés à ce genre de travail collaboratif. Les ressources transdisciplinaires sont aussi difficiles à obtenir et à utiliser. Le but du présent article est de décrire un système pratique pour aider à l'identification et à la résolution des problèmes associés au travail collaboratif des professionels de santé mentale.
