Recovery Orientation has gradually become a key frame of reference for the provision and organisation of mental health services in many countries. It is a frame of reference for thinking and acting and it emphasizes the client's/recoverer's resources, participation, hope, meaningfulness and positive mental health (Nordling, 2018).
Personal recovery is a unique process of changing attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills, and roles. Service providers and professionals need to rethink their role in supporting clients' recovery and what kind of skills and competences it requires of them.
In psychiatry, the framework of Recovery orientation is largely realised through the goals and practices of positive psychiatry. The aim of the approach is to support people in achieving and maintaining a meaningful and satisfying life despite the symptoms of illness or lack of functional capacity (Nordling, 2018).
There is plenty of material available on Recovery Orientation on the Internet. The following links are a few to help you learn more about the theme:
Link 3: What is a recovery oriented approach?
Link 4: What is Recovery in Mental Health? (A short Youtube video)
In addition, module 1 of the training includes presentations as a material in which the key principles of Recovery Orientation are shortly summarised.
A framework called CHIME is at the heart of the Recovery Orientation theme. The CHIME framework enables us to bring the principles of recovery into different learning environments. CHIME encompasses five different areas that promote personal recovery.
Also in the development work of the project's training model, we outlined the Recovery Orientation thinking with the help of the CHIME framework: it provided a concrete perspective for the training development on supporting mental health service users as mental health professionals and Experts by Experience.
