Creating and Inspiring Hope (Recovery)

 

This Recovery training programme was originally developed specifically for Support, Time and Recovery [STR] Workers. It soon became apparent that the training should be considered essential not only for STR Workers, but for all those working in mental health services.

 

This view was reinforced further by the development of the Ten Essential Shared Capabilities [ESC] for Mental Health Practice. The 10 ESC provide the foundation for all mental health practice and everyone who works in mental health services is expected to develop each of these capabilities. The ESC are both values and evidence based and Promoting Recovery is one of them.  The ESC learning materials have been designed in order to support this process.

 

This Recovery training programme is underpinned by the 10 ESC, and builds on the 10 ESC Learning Pack for mental health practice.  It is also linked to the National Occupational Standard competency in Recovery, MH94: “Enable people to recover from distressing mental health experiences”.

 

This programme was developed by trainers and people who have used mental health services. The training consists of a two-day induction programme which may include 4 modules as part of a recovery induction training programme:

 

Introducing and Exploring Recovery

Recovery – Rediscovering Ourselves

Communication – The Essential Tool for Empowerment

WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning)
