The Mental Health and Recovery Services Board
supports the following Recovery Principles:
|
- Recovery can occur with or without professional intervention.
- People can recover with the help of self-help groups, families, or friends.
- Critical to one's recovery is a person or persons in whom one can trust to be available in times of need.
- Recovering is a deeply human experience, built on trust and understanding, and can be everybody's business.
- Recovery can occur even with individuals who experience intense psychiatric symptoms.
- Being in the process of recovering helps to reduce the frequency and duration of symptoms.
- People can get better.
- Recovering from the consequences of the illness is sometimes more difficult than recovering from the illness itself.
