Recovery is….. Capability that defines the process that service users and providers
engage in to enable self-empowerment and self-determination. Recovery is about recovering what was lost: rights, roles,
responsibilities, decision making, capacity, potential and mental well-being.”
Recovery is what people experience themselves as they become empowered to achieve a meaningful life and appositive sense of belonging in the community.
A return to a state of wellness Achievement of a personally acceptable quality of life A process of recovering A process of gaining or restoring something An act of obtaining useable resources for apparently unusable
sources To recover optimum quality of life and have satisfaction with like in
disconnected circumstances.
Supporters WRAP 11
Recovery is…..
To promote recovery you need to: Understand that recovery is a process that is unique to each
person Understand the essential role of hope in the recovery process Accept that recovery is not about the elimination of symptoms or
the notion of cure Understand that the key element to the recovery process is the
service user is both the driver and coordinator of services
Department of Health 2004 the Ten Essential Shared Capabilities
Supporters WRAP 12
Recovery is…..
Basically to help recovery, you need to be able to help service users and carers deal with their mental health problems and to keep a sense of hope for the future. Helping them to find a way of life that is rewarding to them whether or not they continue to have mental health problems.
The Wellness Recovery Action Plan is part of the process of helping people manage their mental health & can help them start down the road to recovery.

Crisis Plan – In the video Mary Ellen said…. that creating her Crisis Plan took her several months. It’s
important to allow time for plans to be created Give a copy of the Crisis Plan to your supporters – up to the
Client, but very useful when the Client enters crisis Encourage Clients to write in simple terms especially in the
crisis plan – this helps to ensure their wishes are understood Encourage the client to discuss and consider how they want to
be treated, medication etc., before they write things down – this is to help them make informed choices about their care
Encourage Clients to update their plan as the continue down their road to recovery
This Plan wont remove the crisis, but it can help to reduce the level of the crisis

Post Crisis Plan I know when I am out of crisis when….. How I would like to feel when I have recovered from my
crisis; Discharge from Hospital Plan; What do I need to do each day? What might I need to do each day? What may I need to avoid while I’m recovering? Signs I may not be recovering as planned; Tools I can use to help me in my recovery; What can I do to prevent further crisis during recovery; People I need to thank, apologise and make amends to; Things I need to consider and make plans for; Timetable for resuming responsibility;

Like the Crisis Plan, it is important to allow enough time to create a Post Crisis Plan
Encourage Clients to update their plan and to learn form each time they use this plan
Consider different ways that you can help and support your Clients
Try and ensure that the client has control, can make choices about their recovery as this is proven to help in their recovery
Clients need Support and Time in order to help them in their road to Recovery
