MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Greetings from Carbondale, and welcome to this, the first e-newsletter from the School of
Social Work at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. As this is our maiden venture with
the publication, I extend my congratulations to Drs. Julie Steen and Dhrubodhi Mukher-
jee, the co-editors, for successfully launching the initiative for us.
You have received this communication because you are an alumni, friend, or associate of the
School, and we hope you enjoy the updates we’ll be sending from time to time. It’s always
interesting to find out about School and faculty achievements, as well as keeping up with
classmates and other alumni, all of which we hope to showcase here.
I consider the current phase of the School a “take-off” phase. The School’s BSSW and
MSW programs are fully accredited by CSWE until 2010. The School now has about 210
undergraduate and 90 graduate students. We have four tenured full professors, two tenured
associate professors, four tenure-track assistant professors, three full-time continuing clini-
Dr.Mizanur R. Miah cal faculty members, and a host of talented adjunct faculty. In 2006, SIUC rated our MSW
program as one of the top four “most popular degrees” out of 69 graduate programs. In ad-
dition, the School has secured one of the largest multi-year grants (over five million dollars
per year) from DCFS known as “Integrated Assessment Program (IAP).” Currently, the IAP
is staffed by about 43 full-time personnel, over 90% of whom have an MSW and LCSW.
This summer has been a very exciting semester for the School. While our summer enroll-
ment has steadily gone up in the last four years (up by 30% compared to 2001), we were
second highest in enrollment this year in the College of Education and Human Services
(COEHS). This was also the first time we had two MSW students in international field
placements (one in Syria and one in Mexico). The School has also successfully conducted
its first-ever summer field program for BSSW students and a second time field program for
the MSW students, as well as the first-ever Study Abroad program for both graduate and
undergraduate students in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Our international visibility is growing by leaps and bounds. We are now an Institutional
Member of the International Consortium for Social Development (ICSD) and a publication
partner of the internationally-reputed journal Social Development Issues. We were also one
of the notable supporting organizations for the 23rd Annual Social Work Day at the United
Nations in New York City last April. In addition, a number of our senior faculty members

Drs. Laura Dreuth Zeman, Associate Professor, and Sarah Buila, Assistant Professor, are working together on an ongoing study called the
Day-to-Day Project. Their study seeks to understand the experiences of parents with chronic and persistent mental illness and the providers who
work with them. Their study was conducted through the Resource Center for Research on Parenting, an affiliate of the School of Social Work at
Southern Illinois University, and was funded in part by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
The first year of their study sought to identify how the informal psychiatric network in Southern Illinois works together to support parents with
mental illness. This study takes place at an important time in policy, called Mental Health Reform. This reform was organized over the last few
years by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) along with professional organizations. They draw from
best-practice standards to improve accountability, capacity and effectiveness of services for consumers. The recovery practice model empha-
sizes community-based services that implement evidenced-based practices which emphasize strengths, empowerment for self-direction, con-
sumer centered care, holistic and non-linear care approaches, respect, peer support, and consumer responsibility.
The preliminary results from their study of network providers found that the highest priorities were the linkages in the infrastructure, non-linear
models of care where setbacks are seen as a part of recovery, the use of consumer support systems, a respect for consumers, and a commitment
to consumer-directed care. The human service workers reported that they believed consumers could be better served if there was funding for
more flexible programs and to expand peer support. They also desired to integrate evidenced based practice into program design and delivery
rather than base program decisions on funding. Drs. Dreuth Zeman and Buila are currently recruiting parents with mental illness who are
willing to participate in focus groups or interviews. The parents will be asked questions about how they balance self care with parenting and
about the services they need and find most helpful.

T he SIUC Integrated Assessment (IA) team came together on March 23-24th to celebrate its first
year in providing direct services to children and families in Illinois. The honored guests in atten-

The School of Social Work has had a long standing partnership with the Department of Children and
Family Services and has expanded its relationship to include the Illinois Model of Integrated Assess-
ment Program. The Integrated Assessment Program has entered into its second year providing direct
services to children and families in Illinois. Southern Illinois University School of Social Work is
providing services to 84 out of 102 counties in the state of Illinois. The School is one of four part-
ners in Illinois engaged in an “Integrated Assessment” program with DCFS designed to conduct
Assessments for Children and Families. Assessments are conducted as a team with a Clinical
Screener and the DCFS or POS Permanency Worker. The other contracted partners joining with Director Bryan Samuels, Illinois
