This brief summary guide provides ideas for working with service users, both those with mental health problems and those with addiction or dependency, in a recovery orientated fashion. The guide is based on two beliefs; first, that recovery is something worked towards and experienced by the person with the problem, it is not something a service can do to the person; and secondly every journey of recovery is individual. The role of the staff is to provide support. The guide looks at recovery tasks, the personal recovery framework and the central importance of relationships and peer involvement. Traditional and recovery-orientated services are compared. A link is provided to the full 32 page guide published by Rethink which identifies 100 action points for staff in supporting recovery.
