In this workshop, we will focus on exploring: What is meant by "recovery" in the context of mental health problems? What is the difference between "recovery" and "rehabilitation"? What has "citizenship" got to do with recovery? What supports and interventions are available? Where do "symptom management" and medication fit within a recovery framework? How is recovery experienced by people with mental health problems? What helps and what hinders the process of recovery? What role do workers' values and attitudes play? What can workers/services do to facilitate a person's recovery?
