Overview
Recovery in mental health is a unique experience that is defined by the person. Recovery oriented mental health nursing practice aims to support people in their personal recovery from mental health conditions and upholds their rights as service users.
You will explore the significance of the consumer movement and the markedly different notions of recovery. Human rights and the interplay with stigma and discrimination will be explored, with special consideration to priority populations.
You will examine frameworks used in mental health practice to support people’s recovery, and reflect on the role that mental health nurses can have in supporting people, families and communities’ growth and wellbeing.
