The Values, Principles, and Practices of Recovery and Psychosocial Rehabilitation

The Values, Principles and Practices of Recovery and Psychosocial Rehabilitation
(10:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
Pacific Time (GMT-8)

This workshop starts with a fundamental belief that people living with behvioral health conditions can and do recover, and deserve opportunities to build lives not defined by those conditions

Additionally, Recovery is defined as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.

This workshop explores the process in which an individual engages in their recovery journey, using the four stages of recovery of hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and meaningful roles as guides.

Psychiatric rehabilitation promotes recovery, full community integration, and improved quality of life for persons who have been diagnosed with any mental health condition that seriously impairs their ability to lead meaningful lives.

Psychiatric rehabilitation services are collaborative, person directed, and individualized. These services are an essential element of the health care and human services spectrum and should be evidence-based. They focus on helping individuals develop skills and access resources needed to increase their capacity to be successful and satisfied in the living, working, learning, and social environments of their choice.
