Recovery from mental health challenges is possible

  • Many people grow and learn through their mental health experience – this is sometimes called ‘recovery’.
  • art-space
  • Everyone's journey of recovery is different and often very personal.
  • People have different experiences of the mental health system - some find their medication and health professionals helpful, others do not.
  • Some people experiencing mental health challenges claim that family support, peer support and community engagement is just as important as 'treatment' in recovery.

A Place to Belong draws heavily from a recovery framework and a strengths framework for our practice.

“It’s been an invaluable experience. Hearing the person's story and then having some pretty open discussion about how our lives can be different has given me hope”.
