Here's a useful piece to read about recovery. Particularly the Process of...

Recovery is not just about enabling someone to get back to their way of functioning, it's more about empowering people to gain control over problems in their life and help people to build resilience and ways of coping with their emotional distress.

However, within mental health, recovery can be described as the body and mind having time to heal and not experiencing the same level of mental illness as before. Any improvement is recovery as sufferers of mental illness are likely not able to be the individual they once were. 

The mental health nurse is responsible for administering medication and maintaining accurate care plans and documentation. In regard to recovery, the mental health nurses’ job is to engage and support patients to regain their place in community through the use of OT, implement care that is person-centred and put a discharge plan in place if the patient is sectioned in an hospital.

The recovery model argues the importance of building the resilience of people with mental health issues and helping in order to support them and their self-esteem. 
Important factors for recovery: good relationships, satisfying work, personal growth, the right living environment. 
 
Mental health nurses help to provide support and medical care to those that have a range of mental health issues. 
They support people with issues ranging from anxiety and depression to addiction and personality disorders. Mental health nurses build relationships with people in order to support and monitor their mental health, know what the potential triggers are and watch for relapse signs. They also facilitate personal adaption e.g. Help the person to gain confidence, self-belief and recognise skills and their own ambitions to work towards.

They care for the their patients by using a holistic approach and in a person centred way. They use their skills to help their patients recover by getting back to their way of functioning. https://padlet.com/charlottepearce1_2/1hgo30rcbajr/wish/448235282 2020-02-20 18:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/charlottepearce1_2/1hgo30rcbajr/wish/448235282 Recovery https://padlet.com/charlottepearce1_2/1hgo30rcbajr/wish/449189041 Recovery is very person-specific. It isn't about going back to a pre-diagnostic state, it's about learning to cope with the illness and take control of your life again. 
Recovery emphasises the importance of hope, not focusing on the illness but on their future hopes and aspirations. Instead of seeing recovery as an end product, it's a process that is achieved through smaller steps. It's important when experiencing a set back to remember how far you've come.]]> 2020-02-23 20:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/charlottepearce1_2/1hgo30rcbajr/wish/449189041
