Training to explore what recovery from mental health difficulties can mean and how people, workplaces and communities can support someone without taking over.
Recovery does not always mean returning to exactly how things were before, and it does not follow the same path for everyone. People may have different goals, sources of support and ways of managing their mental health over time.
Understanding recovery can help shift the focus from doing things for someone towards supporting choice, hope, strengths and self-determination. The training below explores recovery in practical terms and considers how other people can offer support while respecting the individual’s own decisions, priorities and experiences.
