Recovery: a paradigm shift in Mental Health
Date: 22 May 2018
Chair: Dr Audrey Campbell, Principal Lecturer Mental Health University of Hertfordshire
Mental Health recovery represents a paradigm shift from the medical model towards a more holistic approach of collaboration with the individual, based on the belief and considerable evidence of the strengths of people experiencing mental ill health and of adequate psychological and social support. The speakers will address the case for mediation in families, shared decision making as co-production in mental health interventions, working with hope and education as a part of personal and organisational change.
Hope has been recently recognized as a major factor in many health fields, particularly in the recovery journey of people with mental illnesses. During this presentation, the meaning of hope, the various definitions and different contextual models of hope will be presented. We will continue with a short review of research conducted about hope with a focus on Mental Health, and we will conclude with a practical approach for clinicians and professionals about ways to incorporate hope into their practice.
Learning Outcomes:
1.Update knowledge of innovative recovery key concepts and practices
2.Making sense of lived experience of mental ill health and its implications for recovery work
3.Update knowledge on innovations in education of recovery and personal and organisational impact
