Through sharing wisdom informed by experience and knowledge you will: Support and promote recovery as a user led concept Emphasise hope and optimism, individual aspirations and goals Value experiential learning Focus on strengths rather than deficits Foster collaboration between those who need support and those who support them as an alternative to coercion Enable and promote autonomy and self-management
