The Recovery Model

The Recovery Model is an approach to mental health care that emphasizes the individual’s personal journey toward healing and well-being. It recognizes that recovery is not just about symptom reduction, but about improving overall quality of life, achieving personal goals, and gaining control over one’s life. This model encourages support from healthcare professionals, peers, and the community, promoting hope, empowerment, and resilience. It acknowledges that recovery looks different for everyone and that individuals can lead meaningful lives, even while managing mental health challenges.
