  10. Movement through the recovery process is • Influenced by multiple factors • Is not linear • Is consumer directed

  11. GUIDING PRINCIPLES

  12. PRINCIPLE I • The consumer directs the recovery process; therefore, consumer input is essential throughout the process.

  13. PRINCIPLEII • The mental health system must be aware of its tendency to enable and encourage consumer dependency.

  14. PRINCIPLEIII • Consumers are able to recover more quickly when their: • Hope is encouraged, enhanced, and/or maintained; • Life roles with respect to work and meaningful activities are defined; • Spirituality is considered; • Culture is understood; • Educational needs as well as those of their family/significant others are identified; and • Socialization needs are identified.

  15. PRINCIPLEIV • Individual differences are considered and valued across the consumer’s life span.

  16. PRINCIPLEV • Recovery from mental illness is most effective when a holistic approach is considered.

  17. PRINCIPLEVI • In order to reflect current “best practices,” there is a need to merge all intervention models, including Medical, Psychological, Social, and Recovery.

  18. PRINCIPLEVII • Clinician’s initial emphasis on “hope” and the ability to develop trusting relationships influences the consumer’s recovery.

  19. PRINCIPLEVIII • Clinicians operate from a strengths/assets model.

  20. PRINCIPLEIX • Clinicians and consumers collaboratively develop a recovery management plan which focuses on the interventions that will facilitate recovery and the resources that will support the recovery process.

  21. PRINCIPLEX • Family involvement may enhance the recovery process. The consumer defines his/her family unit.

  22. PRINCIPLEXI • Mental health services are most effective when delivery is within the context of the consumer’s community.

  23. PRINCIPLEXII • Community involvement as defined by the consumer is important to the recovery process.

  24. RECOVERY IS WHAT CONSUMERS DO FACILITATE RECOVERY IS WHAT WE DO
