Domain 3: Reminder

Goal is to find agreement on the principles of the guidelines to create a set of guidelines for Maine.

Please to comment on any of the guidelines in the document itself. If possible, please mention the specific guideline.

This is a discussion among all participants– and all questions/comments/responses are welcome!

Based on Feedback

As projects move forward within AMHS, we will look for opportunities to incorporate the principles in the guidelines.

Progress not perfection A “parking lot” will capture implementation issues

that are raised.

Domain 3: Recovery-Oriented Care is Person-Centered

It is the person’s own goals for a life beyond or despite his or her condition that drive treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery planning and efforts.

Strength-based services help people identify as capable individuals with a history, future and strengths/interests that go well beyond the functional impairments/diagnosis

Domain 3: Recovery-Oriented Care is Person-Centered

Person-centered planning and services are individualized and strengths-based.

Agency/system level: Examples

Agency guidelines that allow for selection/change of practitioners are developed and communicated to persons in recovery.

Planning focuses on creating pathways to meaningful and successful community life even when there is continued harmful behavior (such as self-injury)

Agency/system level: Continued

Recovery is viewed as a social process, involving supportive relationships with family, friends, peers, community members and practitioners.

Training and resources are readily available for:– Developing individual recovery plans– Conducting strengths-based assessments– Serving as a recovery guide (vs. case manager)

Practitioner level: Examples

Ask the question - How can I help? Practitioners actively partner with individuals

to share decision-making and create collaborative recovery plans

The language of the plan is easy to understand

Choices and service options are available and clearly explained

Practitioner/person in recovery

Plans are based on the every day life and unique circumstance of the individual

Plans include a wide range of interventions and contributors

Plans honor the “dignity of risk” Plans build on the person’s strengths and

resources Practitioners act as recovery guides
