Recovery-oriented approach to mental health service delivery aims to support consumers in building and maintain a meaningful life and their personal identity regardless of whether they are in control of their symptoms. Recovery-oriented practice focuses on a holistic approach to wellbeing, building on the individual’s strength. Recovery-oriented practice is an approach to mental health, which includes the principles of self-determination and personalised care. This practice holds emphasises on hope, social inclusion, community participation and goal setting in order to promote a relationship between consumers and mental health professionals (Department of Health and Human Services 2011, p. 2). These principles aid the consumer by encouraging …show more content…
Recovery is a personal experience. It’s different for each consumer and therefore a range of services and services models must be considered when supporting a consumer’s recovery. When working with the consumer to create an individualised, accessible and comprehensive recovery service, all issues surrounding mental illness such as, impairment, dysfunction, disability and disadvantage need to be address. Essential services in the recovery-oriented system include: treatment, crisis intervention, case management, rehabilitation, enrichment, rights protection, basic support, self-help and wellness/prevention. Treatment looks at alleviating symptoms and distress and leads to symptom relief for the consumer. Crisis intervention involves controlling and resolving any problems, critical or dangerous, that may occur leading to assured personal safety for the consumer. Case management addressing the consumers needs and wants and obtains the services required to meet these, this enables the consumer to have their services assessed and …show more content…
Participation in mental health refers to a range of processes where the consumer, carers and family members engage to collaborate in the planning, development and evaluation of recovery services (Groves 2012, p.1). Research indicates that consumer participation in health services results in higher quality, cost effective, accountable services and project with an improved health outcome for the consumer. The participation of consumers and cares can also allow mental health professionals the chance to gain insight into service provisions and the chance to build relationships with consumers and cares. Consumer participation is regarded as a fundamental aspect towards the recovery process. This is due to the fact that it enhances social inclusion through socially valued roles and helps develop new skills. It’s also been suggest that there’s an increased sense of satisfaction from staff when the consumer and carers are actively participating in their care and treatment (National Mental Health Consumer & Carer Forum 2010 pp. 1-2). Consumers and their cares and family have the right to participate in all areas of decision-making that impact their mental health. By participation, consumers, carers, families and mental health professional can collaborate share responsibilities about care and treatment decisions. Encouraging participation can be an
Throughout this essay, each theme includes sub-topics also discussed in detail. Referring back to evidence based practice (EBP), policy drivers like Rights, Relationships and Recovery (RRR) and Scottish government legislation, such as Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003. These documents are the framework, which are essential in order to support the standard of care offered to each individual using mental health services in Scotland.
Schizophrenia is a deteriorating progressive disease, consequently, it is resistant to treatment for the individual suffering schizophrenia. (Catts & O’Toole, 2016). In most cases the individuals suffering from schizophrenia, are resistive to treatment, in most cases, individuals suffering from schizophrenia, and are resistive in taking antipsychotics. (Catts & O’Toole, 2016). Jeremy doesn’t see himself as a “schizophrenic”, he states that “he’s happy naturally”, and often he’s observed playing the guitar and doing painting in his room. Weekly, he has an intramuscular medication to treat his disorder, crediting the support of his wife. It is indicated that the morality rate, in patients suffering from schizophrenia is higher, despite the considerable resources available, in Australia. New data show that in 20 countries, including Australia, only 13.5% meet the recovery criteria, which means that 1or 2 patients in every 100, will meet this criteria per year. (Catts & O’Toole, 2016). This means that there’s a decline in providing support and services to individuals like Jeremy suffering from a mental illness such as Schizophrenia. Many individuals become severely ill before they realise they need medical treatment, and when receiving treatment it is usually short-term. (Nielssen, McGorry, Castle & Galletly, 2017). The RANZCP guidelines highlights that
Practitioners are likely to concentrate on the mental health issues rather than the overall issues that prevent the well-being of an individual. For instance, an individual could have other medical issues that need attention but the need could be ignored because a psychiatrist specialises in mental health needs. The previous negative experience of a service user and lack of insight could result in the service user not requesting the support they
...business. Also, the government needs to step up and pass legislation that puts more pressure on employers to include mental health coverage. Legislation pertaining to parity was a step forward, but an employer currently can simply drop mental health coverage to circumvent the laws. Finally, it is the duty of practitioners to serve the patients best interest, not that of the managed care company. Practitioners must put pressure on managed mental health care companies to place power back into the hands of the mental health professional who provide care for the patients daily. Patients are people not numbers.

The CPA is a care management process for people with mental health and social care needs, including managing associated risks. The CPA main elements are: Assessment, Care coordinator, Care planning, Review, Transfer and Discharge. The National Standard Framework for Mental Health introduced it to supply a framework for effective mental health care (DOH, 1999; DOH, 2008; Gamble, 2005). Under CPA, John may use an Advance statement to illustrate his personal preferences and what he would like to happen in regards to his personal and home life should they come to lack capacity. These are important mechanisms for safeguarding and promoting a patient’s interests and health. The CPA is grounded in values and principles that are central to personalisation brought about when in March 2008 ‘Refocusing the Care Programme Approach’ was issued. This updated guidance highl...
Society's understanding of mental health has been revolutionized in recent decades. There has been increased research directed towards mental health, greater support for those who are affected, and a better understanding of it by the general public. In this current generation, mental illnesses are now viewed as serious conditions that need to be properly treated. Mental health is a vital component of an individual's well-being and how he or she is able to cope with the difficulties of life. When challenges arise, mental state is critical to overcoming those challenges. The ability of a person to maintain the integrity of their mental health is closely related to the extent to which honour and dignity can be maintained. The relationship between
The recovery model is a substructure for change enclosing the need for clients to learn to deal with the results of their mental instability and to reach their ultimate level of operating, while creating new essence for their lives. The Recovery Model simply accentuates a stage model of change similar to the analytically sustained configuration. Patients in altered phases of change inclination require a variety of counteracting methods. More active and behavioral techniques may work best with patients ready to change, whereas patients lacking insight will need help in identifying their problems. A model seeks to uplift mental health services clients. To summarize the assumptions, recovery is a process putting the individual

In order to build an effective health promotion project for the population, individual interventions, challenges, and limitations should be addressed first. The uniqueness of the population is based on the core and fundamental aspects of mental disorders. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (2009) states that mental illness is incapacitated with multiple factors affecting thought process, association, affect, and ambivalence. These implications, limitations, and challenges must be assessed individually in order to incorporate individuals for participating in health promotion programs. Nursing interventions and recommendations must be tailored to teaching patients how to cope with stress, disease, adherence to medication regimen, and build support
Aside from clinical management, this should also involve promoting acceptance and understanding of the experience in such a way that the illness is framed as part of the individual without defining them as a whole. The meaning attached by the individual to their experience can affect their progress and so, their life story, hopes, fears and unique social situation are central in the recovery process. While this serves to encourage acceptance of the individual’s distress, it also facilitates hope for resolution; therefore, professionals are required to enable the individual to unearth their own strengths and meaning. This means reclaiming a full and meaningful life either with or without psychotic symptoms so that the individual can maintain a life even if mental issues persist. Thus, services are required to facilitate a higher level of functioning for service users that enables the individual adapts their attitudes, values and experience; by taking personal responsibility through self-management to seek out help and support as required, rather than being clinically managed
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.

One in five Americans, approximately 60 million people, have a mental illnesses (Muhlbauer, 2002).The recovery model, also referred to as recovery oriented practice, is generally understood to be defined as an approach that supports and emphasizes an individual’s potential for recovery. When discussing recovery in this approach, it is generally seen as a journey that is personal as opposed to having a set outcome. This involves hope, meaning, coping skills, supportive relationships, sense of the self, a secure base, social inclusion and many other factors. There has been an ongoing debate in theory and in practice about what constitutes ‘recovery’ or a recovery model. The major difference that should be recognized between the recovery model and the medical model is as follows: the medical model locates the abnormal behavior within an individual claiming a factor that is assumed to cause the behavior problems whereas, the recovery model tends to place stress on peer support and empowerment (Conrad and Schneider, 2009). This essay will demonstrate that the recovery model has come a long way in theory and practice and therefore, psychological well-being is achievable through this model.
