During the interviews it was found that many clinicians use hope as an important tool when working with severally ill clients. Hope is the foundation for the journey towards recovery A person in recovery has the capacity for hope and thrives best in associations that foster hope. Through hope, a future of possibility enriches the life experience and creates the environment for uncommon and unexpected positive outcomes to be made real. A person in recovery is held as boundless in potential and possibility. The concept of recovery is not new and has been used by people with a mental illness for many- many years. There is an increasing interest in recovery as an alternate framework to traditional models of care, providing a source of inspiration …show more content…
It is about concentrating on strengths rather than weaknesses, focusing on the future rather than the past and celebrating small successes rather than insisting on rapid change. Hope fuels the recovery process through expanding the sphere of possibility, coloring life perceptions, and sustaining individuals even during periods of relapse. Another clinician mentioned that, “You always want to have hope for your client. That’s like the main thing, that’s the thing everybody remembers because there are a bunch of different …show more content…
Because it’s going to be fake…right…so you got to really believe them. And then just implement them as much as you can.” In order to provide help clinicians must believe in them. Believe there is hope even though clinician knows that the person is severally ill but just showing the hope and saying, “it’s going to be okay’ makes a huge difference in client’s life. Another clinician stated that, “I don’t think you can hold onto hope however, you always have to have hope. I never think that they will never gonna get better, I know by definition they not going to get better but why give up hope.” So not only it’s important for clients to have hope it is very important for clinicians to have hope also. Recovery goes beyond self-care and functioning. It is also the development of a more meaningful existence, and sense of purpose. This sense of purpose may be developed through work, relationships, political action or spirituality. Spirituality, in particular, has been identified as a source of hope. One of the clinician
What is the director ultimately saying about the ways in which hope affects the individual?
Research studies have shown that a comprehensive aftercare program can substantially increase a client’s chances of success in recovery.
It can help the achievement of extraordinary things and push people to new heights never before seen. Hope is an idea, something inside the minds and hearts of those pursuing it. It is a concept, yet it wields limitless power. It can be seen in every essence
Recovery has been conceptualised as a vision, a philosophy, a process, an attitude, a life orientation, an outcome and a set of outcomes. Furthermore, recovery is unique and individualised to each person so it is difficult to define. However, throughout literature, a number of common themes emerge namely; hope, personal empowerment, individualized, person-centred care, engagement between the person, organization and others as well as dignity and humanity.
What is hope? Hope is the feeling of desire for a certain thing to happen. Hope is something that even when everything goes wrong you still believe that there is still good somewhere. Hope is something that even the toughest people will feel. Hope relates to the theme in S.E Hinton’s, The Outsiders. The theme of this story, is just because something bad happens, that doesn’t mean that you can’t stop living life to the fullest, and even when the going gets tough you still have to have hope that it will get better.

“Hope is defined as the action of wishing or desiring that something will occur.” Hope helps people move forward in life to see what’s coming next for them. For example, “I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? I was his sole support” (Wiesel, “Night”.) This quote explains the effects of hope in a pitiful situation. Eliezer Wiesel and his father were torn apart, mentally and physically from everything they
Health care providers remain hopeful when their patient do not give up and are following their recommendations. They remain realistic by trying to not get attached to their patients, otherwise they will lose their objectivity.
However, recovery is based on core aspects such as hope and meaning whereby an individual tries to overcome discrimination, stigma and trauma attributed to the diagnosis of a mental illness. Also, it requires a person to assume the control over his or her life and empowered to make his or her own decision in full engagement. There are two types of recovery, i.e. clinical recovery and personal recovery. Therefore, it is vital for an individual to have a clear understanding of the two as well as identify the differences since recovery is considered to have a medical meaning. According to Rethinks, clinical recovery is a treatment outcome emerged from the designated experts of mental health professionals which encompasses the restoration of social functioning and getting rid of symptoms, hence making an individual to get back to normal.

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate my reflection and understanding in the Role of the Mental Health Nurse in an episode of care supporting and promoting the recovery of service users. According to the National institute for Mental Health (2004) recovery is a process to restore something or return to a state of wellness, is an achievement of quality of life that is acceptable to the person (Ryan 2012).
When looking at the recovery model from a psychiatric rehabilitation perspective, there are a number of characteristics of the recovery process that have been suggested, which include: it is possible for recovery to occur without professional intervention, however this then requires people who believe in and stand by the person in recovery; it does not include dependence on believing specific theories about the cause of the circumstance; it can occur even if symptoms happen to re-occur, but this does not affect the frequency and duration of these symp...
The simple notion that they can achieve something they want allows people to keep finding ways to advance themselves so that they can reach what they want. It also allows people to push themselves so that they can not be complacent with where they are, and show that they are hungry for more success and show that failure is not an option for them. The same study showed that the level of hope for a person can affect their mental health dramatically. They have noticed that people with lower levels of hope have shown weaker work ethics, less social interaction, strong signs of depression, and some have even reported thoughts of suicide.
One thing I have learned is that no road to recovery is wrong, and because I found recovery in the rooms does not mean that is going to be everyone’s path. I encourage every one of my clients to find that path themselves, I am armed with resources to help them but I would never push my views onto them.
