Resilience and Recovery

RESILIENCE is dedicated to equipping individuals with proven wellness strategies, relevant content, and tools that will empower people to care for themselves and those they love.

RESILIENCE is an evidence-based approach that does not exclusively focus on resolving symptoms but emphasizes resilience and control over problems and life. Focus and effort are on building resilience of people with mental illness and support those in emotional distress. Recovery is a process, and it is possible. The journey is not straight, nor steady. Rather there are ups and downs. We learn to celebrate the progress along the way.

Steps to Recovery:

The recovery model is a holistic, person-centered approach to mental health care. The model has quickly gained momentum over the past decade and is becoming the standard model of mental health care.

This model is based on two simple premises:

1. It is possible to recover from a mental health condition.

2. The most effective recovery is patient-directed.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) has outlined four dimensions to consider when supporting someone in recovery:

Recovery Steps

Health

In order to manage or recover from mental illness, people must make choices that support both their physical and mental well-being.

Home

People need a safe and supportive home environment.

Purpose

Having meaningful daily routines such as school, work, family, and community participation are important during the recovery process and for maintaining wellness.

Community

Supportive social relationships provide people with the love, emotional availability, and respect that they need to survive and thrive.
