Course content for the Realising Recovery™ course:
.......................................................................................................................................................................
A 3-day course for 6-16 people.
(2-day version also available.)
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Day One: The History and Philosophy.
• Definition and Description. Recovery may be seen as more of a philosophy than a
model, requiring that "we regain personal power and a valued place in our communities."
• The Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health document: Making Recovery a Reality. Andresen
et al's five stages of recovery. The importance of work and employment. Shepherd's ten
top tips, 2007.
• Components of the process of recovery. Having hope; Re-establishment of a positive
identity; Building a meaningful life; Taking responsibility and control. The importance
of optimism.
• Social Inclusion. "Increasingly, services aim to go beyond traditional clinical care and
help patients back into mainstream society, re-defining recovery to incorporate quality of
life - a job, a decent place to live, friends and a social life."
• Professional Qualities. All the sophisticated concepts, and all the literature in the world,
are as nothing unless the professional has the right personal qualities.
• The relationship. Roberts & Wolfson (2004) have characterised this as a shift from staff
who are seen as remote, in a position of expertise and 'authority', to people who behave
more like a personal coach or trainer: 'On tap, not on top.' Repper & Perkins.
• Borg & Kristiansen's (2004) key characteristics: Openness; Collaboration as equals;
A focus on
the individual's inner resources; Reciprocity;
A willingness "to go the
extra mile".
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Day Two: ‘Operationalising’ the Recovery model … techniques to make it happen.
• Positive questions. A positive question has two key qualities: It focuses on positive
behaviour, not negative. So long as you can answer it, the answer will necessarily
eliminate the negative behaviour.
• Radical Validation Plus. People who are good at validating are liked by their friends
and influential with their clients.
• Socratic Dialogue. Asking questions that help a person to think things through the way
they want to.
• Planning and achieving a good Future. We need not be so perturbed about our past that
it disturbs our present, nor so wrapped up in the present that we neglect our future.
The RAID Ladder of Achievement.
• Decisional Balance. Helping the person to decide what they want, and to act on their
decision. Putting forward your own suggestions. Encouragement and support. The
two traps.
• The role of a written action-plan.
• Practical Support. Advice, 'sounding-board', and emotional support are all helpful, but so
is practical support. And service users value it very highly.
• Noticing positive results is good but not good enough. We also need to know what to do
to help people achieve what they want again, and again.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Day Three: Constructing a full Recovery care plan and measuring progress and results.
• Measures of Recovery. Recovery is more than philosophy, it is about results. To have
clear evidence of progress helps both the service-user and the professional. In this
section we review four measures.
• Producing a Recovery-Oriented Care Plan. Applying the Recovery principles to
producing a Care Plan for a prepared case example.
• Producing a Recovery-Oriented Care Plan, 2.
Applying the Recovery principles to
producing a usable Care Plan for a service-user you know.
.......................................................................................................................................................................

“I enjoyed the course greatly. It was excellently presented in an open and unpressured atmosphere. It helped me reflect on my current practice and gave me skills and knowledge that I believe will enhance my practice and improve the quality of the care I deliver.”
Brian Prendergast, Clinical Nurse Manager
“While I was already in the mind-frame for engaging in recovery orientated practise and aware of the concepts, I have been exposed to new methods of delivering on this concept in my field of practise. It has also validated my thoughts and feelings on the way in which I have chosen to engage with service users.”
Imelda Maguire, Acting Clinical Nurse Manager
“Enjoyable learning experience. Good balance of information giving, supported by exceptional learning exercises.”
Martin Doolan, Psychologist
“I loved every aspect of the course - very relevant to my work and how I wish to see it progress - it's an exciting time for mental health practitioners - promoting a new way to address "healing". Thank you very much for your energy, inspiration and workforce presentation. Please arrange a review course soon!"
Eve Bellis, Social Worker
