Introducing and advancing the principals of mental health recovery and peer support The Institute for Recovery and Community Integration is dedicated to educating society about people's ability to recover from mental illness, to providing training and technical assistance that will transform our systems of care into systems of hope, and to ensuring that consumers have opportunities to participate fully in the communities of their choice. We do this by:
|
|
Hope |
|
| Recovery is a self determined and holistic journey that people undertake to heal and grow. Community integration is the opportunity to live in the community and be valued for abilities and unique qualities like everyone else. Peer Support is the building and nurturing of relationships between peers which assists individuals in their journey of recovery and wellness. Some characteristics of this relationship include mutual respect, trust, hope and education |
| About This Site |
In an effort to help promote recovery, community integration, and peer support in mental health practice, the Institute for Recovery and Community Integration has designed this site as an information clearinghouse and online community for peer specialists, their supervisors, the CPS Planning Group, and the general public to learn more about these treatment approaches, exchange information, and share opportunities. Many of the site's features are still under construction. However, we did not want to wait until they were completed to launch this site and share the information already available at the Institute. If you have any suggestions or feedback about the site, please email us at: recovery@mhasp.org. |
