The Recovery Movement

The Recovery Movement is a social and cultural shift aimed at helping individuals with mental health or substance use challenges to reclaim their lives and well-being. It emphasizes personal empowerment, hope, and the idea that recovery is possible for everyone. Rather than focusing solely on illness, the movement promotes strengths, community support, and a holistic approach to healing. Key principles include treating individuals with dignity, encouraging self-advocacy, and integrating people into society, recognizing that recovery can take many forms and is a unique journey for each person.
