What is recovery?
I think recovery means hope which leads a person to cure.
Principles
The principles of recovery-oriented mental health practice ensure that mental health services are delivered in a way that supports the recovery of mental health consumers.
They are:
1. Uniqueness of the individual recognises that recovery is not necessarily about cure but is about having opportunities for choices and living a meaningful, satisfying and purposeful life, and being a valued member of the community accepts that recovery outcomes are personal and unique for each individual and go beyond an exclusive health focus to include an emphasis on social inclusion and quality of life empowers individuals so they recognise that they are at …show more content…
How can we deepen our understanding of recovery as an individual process? What stimulates and sustains the process? What hinders or smothers it? What are the best methods for answering such questions?
2. Can recovery be measured? Should recovery me measured? What are the risks of doing so? Of not doing so?
3. How can we transfer our knowledge about recovery as an individual process to our policy-making and service planning activities? How do specific policies and services affect individual recovery?
4. How will we know we are creating a recovery-oriented system? By what criteria should the system be judged? Should we measure individual gains? Aggregate outcomes? System-level change? Over what period of time?
5. How can we balance recovery as an individual, singular process, with the system’s need for standardization? Can we formulate a generalized concept of recovery and still respect the process as unique?
6. For what should we hold the system accountable? Are we willing to trade off some system liability for the increased self-determination and personal responsibility that seem to be the hallmark of …show more content…
What barriers stand in the way of implementing a recovery orientation? What forces sustain the status quo?
8. Should recovery be the foundational principle of the mental health system?
These problems start with problems of epistemology – how best to study and measure recovery. But they end in problems of politics and values – what is to be our society’s approach to helping persons with psychiatric disabilities? For recovery to herald a real change in our assumptions and practices, and to make a difference in the lives of people living with severe and persistent mental illness, it is vital that all of these questions be engaged. How we choose to answer them will shape mental health services in the coming decades. (Jacobson and Curtis, 2000,)
