CommonGround Software

Supporting shared-decision making and recovery-oriented care.

CommonGround is a software solution that helps people prepare to participate in their psychiatric care appointments. Before their appointment, individuals are engaged in discovering self-care strategies (Personal Medicine), creating personal goals for medication treatment (Power Statements), and preparing a Health Report to inform shared-decision making.

Preparing for medication appointments

"The DSC certainly delivers when it comes to preparing for a medication appointment. I am able to use their time more efficiently. Aside from that, which is no small feat in health care, it’s respectful and compassionate. It’s time well spent and a path to sustained recovery."

Inspiration and hope

"As always, when I start to feel as if 'nothing changes' for people in recovery and despair sets in, I find inspiration and a renewed sense of hope and determination by visiting CommonGround."

Finding their voice

"The comment I received often is 'If it was not for CommonGround and the staff's willingness to listen, I would not have moved on to accomplish my goals'. CommonGround really does help people find their voice and move into the life they want for themselves."

A moment of clarity

"My experience working with the CommonGround Software was what can be defined as 'a moment of clarity' for me. I have gained knowledge of the field in which I work, that can not be taught in a book. I was blessed to have been educated and to impact the lives of participants in a way that was not only effective but for some, life-changing. This is no exaggeration."
