NSW CAG is working in partnership with the Mental Health Coordinating Council (MHCC) to create a resource to guide mental health workers within non-government, community organisations in NSW. The resource will be used to assist workers in delivering recovery oriented services.

WE NEED TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY

We hear that recovery from mental illness is different for everyone. Recovery to you might mean being able to live a meaningful life, being symptom free, having hope for the future, being able to participate in the community, having good relationships, having a positive identity, making life adjustments, understanding your illness, knowing what things keep you well, and living with or without mental illness.

We also hear that a big part of a person's recovery is about the people that assist them in their recovery - mental health workers. We want to hear about your experiences and what you think about:

* What values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours your worker needs to have to support you on your recovery journey
* What knowledge and skills your worker needs to have to support you on your recovery journey
* What kind of relationship with your worker supports your recovery journey

If you have any stories or experiences about how your worker has facilitated your recovery, or suggestions on how you think workers could better delivery services that support your recovery - post your thoughts here!

I work for a Non government organisation supporting people living with mental illness. I am part of a small working group that is putting together a plan for our organisation to work from a recovery perspective. We particularly want to change the assessment process when perople first come to seek assistance. At the moment our assessment questionnaire is deficits based so we are looking information and suggestions for strengths based assessment. Our collaboration plan will of course involve consumers of our organisation. Any suggestions and ideas from forum participants would be appreciated.
