“...programs with the creation of a service delivery model that highlights peer support as the demonstration that recovery from mental illness and/or addiction is possible. In order to stay on track with recovery and wellness values, the organization uses a wellness based approach instead of the traditional illness based approach. The focus is on strengths and is person-centered. The following principles, "pathways to recovery", guide the development of all recovery innovations services: - hope. Hope is the beginning. It's a thought that things can get better, a feeling of courage with a spark of new energy. Hope creates a "turning point" and means, "i can have dreams". It's a vision of a better future; learning to focus on the positive. - choice. Recovery is a choice. Making choices is how we can discover who we are. We have the right to make choices even if it involves taking risks. This is how we learn; from our own experience. In fact, we are the experts in our own care. We do best when we choose our services, our service provider and our service plan. - empowerment. Recovery is the person's job. We resist taking the power by doing "to" or "for". Give the person the lead role. Creating a "valued role" promotes empowerment. Promoting self-advocacy supports each person in taking the lead and not giving their power away. - recovery culture. Healing happens in relationships. We value and nurture relationships based on kindness and mutual respect. Maintaining a positive "level of consciousness" of compassion and caring helps to create a "community" with valued social roles for everyone and to celebrate diversity. - spirituality: meaning and purpose. Connecting within and beyond the self helps move recovery forward. When we find our own answers to the mystery of spirit we develop spiritual competence.”
