Recovery rediscovered: Implications for the Ontario mental health system
A policy document from the CMHA - Ontario Division published last month - "In Ontario, nine regional implementation task forces have adopted recovery as the guiding principle for the reform of the mental health system. While recovery literature refers repeatedly to a recovery “model,” there is currently no defined model in practice. Recovery is not a new idea, though its recent prominence in mental health literature and policy may make it seem so. Why an idea suddenly springs into prominence has a lot to do with the nature of the idea itself, the people who support it, and the social context into which it is born." The document is also available in Adobe Acrobat format.
