CHIME framework (Connection, Hope, Identity, Meaning, Empowerment)

The CHIME framework is a model used to understand and support recovery, especially in mental health. It highlights five key aspects: Connection (building relationships and feeling understood), Hope (believing in the possibility of recovery), Identity (reclaiming a positive sense of self), Meaning (finding purpose through life’s experiences), and Empowerment (gaining confidence and control over one’s life). Together, these elements help individuals transform their recovery journey into a holistic process of healing, growth, and resilience.
