Abstract:
Social work professionals would benefit by including integrative medicine programs and practices in their framework of practice and service delivery to clients. In our rapidly changing health care environment, using a model that provides a more comprehensive and empowering approach to addressing the medical and psychological needs of our clients is warranted. Discussion of holistic social work practice and implications for social work education and training will be examined through a review of the research and clinical application of a mind-body program titled the Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (3RP). This client-centered, strengths-based program can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies to empower clients to take part in their own health care by teaching noninvasive, self-care, and user-friendly techniques. New research from the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine has demonstrated a reduction in service utilization and cost savings from participation in 3RP. Research on this resiliency health care model will be of interest to social work practitioners, educators, and policymakers alike.
