Principles Of Recovery Theory In Social Work

Recovery-oriented mental health practice is a significant approach in Australia state and territory policy that guides nursing practice and mental health services to be aware of the personal recovery processes and in what way empower and care people with the mental issues. (Cleary et.al 2013). The approach of recovery-oriented practice and service delivery includes sets of capabilities that based on essential principles to develop positive attitudes, behaviors, values, abilities, knowledge and skills (Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council 2013). The national recovery-oriented mental health practice framework provides specific direction for nursing practice and mental health services such as recognizing the potentials for recovery and

The National Framework for recovery gives us an agreed understanding of what we mean by recovery and understanding that the service user themselves defines what recovery means in the context of their own lives. It relates to the goals and ambitions they have in terms of things relation to their work, where they live, how they will interact with their community. The Framework also provides us an understanding of how the services and services providers should respond to that service which defines recovery (A national framework for recovery-oriented mental health services 2013). It happens by supporting the process of recovery through number of stages of recovery. Domain 2 of National Framework for Recovery-Orientated Mental Health Services put emphasis on People first and holistic approach.

According to Beyond Blue (2012) a recovery-orientated model recognizes and understands the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experiences, values, and views of mental health and wellbeing. Further stating this understanding is essential in delivering culturally appropriate recovery-oriented care. Recovery-oriented centers around the needs of the service user. A recovery-oriented model encourages holistic and individualised care and is suitable for ensuring that the particular needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service users are met (Victorian Government Department of Health, 2011). Following a recovery-oriented model offers service users effective and culturally support towards developing a positive outcome in regards to their social and emotional

The recovery model is a tool that is used to help a client live their lives through the best of their abilities. By working with a therapist using the recovery model, goals are made by both the client and the therapist based upon what the client would like to achieve. This allows for clients to take control of their own lives and allows for the client to know that they have different options that they can choose. Clients are better able to come up with goals and the outcome that they desire to see in their everyday life by giving the client a sense of hope, support, and purpose.

Regarding the treatment of mental illness, there are two effective forms that have caused considerable debates in the field of psychology: the medical and the recovery models. While there are significant differences between these two models, they are both effective when used concurrently. The efficacy of the medical model alone is diminishing as it focuses too narrowly on treatment goals, and may ignore the needs of the client. On the other hand, the recovery model focuses on the client and allows them to take control of their treatment and rehabilitation, which helps promote positive change. Recovery is often seen as a lifelong journey that requires the client to be wholly involved in the recovery process. This is why the recovery model values

In discussing the implications of a recovery model on service users/survivors and mental health services, it is essential to define recovery. In illustrating the controversial nature of this concept it is pragmatic to discuss service users and workers in mental health because implications of the recovery model affect both, but in different ways. It is important to realize there is a division in the focus of each group; service users generally want independence from services while health care providers focus on methods and models (Bonney & Stickley, 2008). In working together both groups can improve the provision of recovery services.

Celebrate Recovery is a self-help recovery program that contains a heavy emphasis on Christ and seeking healing through Him. There is a strong religious focus so individuals feel like they have help that is unconditional and they are surrounded by a body of individuals who are struggling with similar situations as well. Although these individuals cannot provide the answers or healing for one another, they are the support, a body, a family, and create a safe environment for fellow participants. Moreover, with this focus on Christs healing powers in their lives, the program emphasizes the eight recovery principles in the Beatitudes as well as the twelve-steps (similar to those used in Alcoholics Anonymous). I, therefore, attended a Celebrate Recovery meeting at the fellowship church in Rogers, AR on October seventh, two thousand sixteen.

According to Carpenter (2002), the social work profession have a history of being involved in administering, developing and providing services for individuals with mental health issues as well as their ‘recovery’. This paper aims to provide a reflection on the concept of recovery and its relationship to the Social Work Profession.

Recovery is a term used when an individual comes to terms and overcomes the obstacles associated with a mental illness. (Le Boutillier et al.,2011).

Individuals’ mental status or physical/ behavioral recovery or medical treatment cannot persist in a healthy phase if their social roles in relationships are unaccounted or if their family is homeless, or they are living in a toxic social environment. I believe, even with the integration, of healthcare professional, the primary focus of social work should not only encompass psychological forces, the environment, or the social structure but on the boundary or the relationship between the person and the social

Research suggests that recovery is nurtured by positive relationships. These relationships encapsulate those with friends, family, service providers and connections with their personal community and culture. Such connections support individuals in becoming more than their “mental illness” identity. Important in fostering these connections are concepts of treating people with dignity, compassion and understanding.

According to the United Kingdom’s Mental Health foundation (2015) the concept of recovery is about ‘the individual staying in control of their life despite experiencing a mental health problem.’ The aim of the

This essay will explain how contemporary issues in mental health influence people’s social wellbeing. Mental health is a fundamental element of resilience, health assets, capabilities and positive adaption that enable individuals to cope with both adversity and to reach their full potential and humanity. The impact on inequalities of health and other outcomes are sourced from mental health. For example, chronic stress of struggling with material disadvantage is intensified to a very considerable degree by doing so in more unequal societies.

Psychosocial rehabilitation has its theoretical roots in evolving a failed effort, by the mental health system, to help mentally ill patients in coping with the psychosocial devastation brought on by severe mental illness and behavioural problems (Correctional Services Canada, 2013). The traditional methods of treatment viewed recovery as a process of curing an illness, usually with medication, but recovery does not subsequently occur once their illness is “treated” (CSC, 2013). This traditional method was ineffective because their recovery was halted by limited support and skills and ‘abnormal’ behaviours learned in institutions (CSC, 2013). These deficits resulted in chronic impairments and maladaptive social functioning (CSC, 2013). These individuals were unable to fulfill normal social roles and successfully live independently in the community (CSC, 2013). The PSR approach to recovery incorporates more than just eliminating the signs and symptoms of the illness, is based on understanding the patients voice and experiences and encouraging participation and self-determination in treatment (CSC, 2013). This approach recognises the care values such as hope, empowerment, and determination are essential to recovery (CSC, 2013). The importance of skill development and community support are also highlighted (CSC, 2013).

Most people who have mental health problems experience symptoms, and gradually recover. They may pick Up where they left off, or head in a new direction in life. Everybody’s experience of mental ill health is Different and everybody’s recovery is therefore individual. For a minority of people, the symptoms of their mental health problem might lead them to act
