Putting Recovery at the Heart of all we do
The move towards focusing on a person’s recovery represents one of the most fundamental shifts in mental healthcare that we have seen in decades. It is about helping people to build a meaningful and satisfying life, as defined by them. It represents a movement away from focusing on a person’s illness, symptoms and medication towards their health, personal strengths and wellbeing. The values that underpin the notion of recovery include hope, choice, acceptance, inclusion, respect and believing in people. Adopting these values when we work with people can play a huge part in our success in helping them to recover.
Working with our recovery partners across Devon and Torbay we have jointly published a guide entitled Putting recovery at the heart of all we do. This shares the values, principles, practices and standards that we all endeavour to work towards in supporting people's recovery.
