At a glance

Recovery is the “achievement of an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by each individual, whilst living with or recovering from a mental health issue.” (NDIS)

The principles of a recovery oriented approach include understanding that each person is different and should be supported to make their own choices, listened to and treated with dignity and respect. Each person is the expert of their own life and support should assist them to achieve their hopes, goals and aspirations. Recovery will mean different things to different people.

A recovery approach should drive everything you do as a support worker and be reflected in your attitude, words and actions. This means being respectful and non-judgemental, and using words that are easily understood (no jargon).

In a recovery oriented approach it is important that you:

support each person to have control over their life regardless of their emotional experiences see each person as an individual and not just focus on their mental health condition acknowledge individual differences, such as age, gender, culture, beliefs and support networks try to understand each individual’s situation and experience, as each person is different understand that mental health conditions vary significantly from person to person, including how often someone has a period of unwellness and for how long remember that each person’s journey is unlikely to be a straight path but more likely to be a mix of achievements and setbacks be optimistic and support the person to have a meaningful life, based on their choices, goals, strengths and abilities help build independence.
