Within Integrated Mental Health ServicesThe emphasis is on Recovery!
“Recovery is an idea whose time has come. At its heart is a
set of values about a person’s right to build a meaningful life
for themselves, with or without the continuing presence of
mental health symptoms.”
“Recovery is based on ideas of self-determination and
self-management. It emphasises the importance of
‘hope’ in sustaining motivation and supporting
expectations of an individually fulfilled life”.
(Shepherd et al, 2008)
• Recovery = Absence of symptoms?
• Recovery = Cure?
• Recovery = Adaptation?
• Recovery = Social Re-integration?.
DEFINITION OF RECOVERY
Recovery is a deeply personal, unique process of
changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills
and roles. It is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful and
contributing life, even with the limitations caused by
illness. Recovery involves the development of a new
meaning and purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond
the catastrophic effects of mental illness”
(Anthony, 1993)
The development of recovery-based services emphasises the personal qualities of staff as much as
their formal qualifications. It seeks to cultivate their capacity for hope, creativity, care, compassion, realism
and resilience.
“Values based practice involves responding to the differences in values that we encounter in mental
health, not by prescribing “right” values but by developing skills that support effective clinical work
based on respect for the diversity of values”
(Woodbridge & Fulford, 2003)
(Shepherd et al, 2008)
“A central tenet of recovery is that it does not necessarily
mean cure (‘clinical recovery’). Instead, it emphasises the
unique journey of an individual living with mental health
problems to build a life for themselves beyond illness
(‘social recovery’). Thus, a person can recover their life,
without necessarily ‘recovering from’ their illness.”
(Shepherd et al, 2008)
“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” (Appleby, 2007).
The method of delivery by Mental Health Services in Hartlepool came about following extensive consultation with Service Users, Carers and other partner agencies.
The most effective way of making the concept of recovery operational for this locality was to utilise two teams addressing the needs of the population within the
community.
For peoplewith Psychosis
For peoplewith Affective
Disorders
The teams are integrated and ‘functional’ and deliver the appropriate care by use of specialist therapies
from staff utilising evidence based approaches such as Psychosocial Interventions, Cognitive Therapy
and Family Interventions.

Primary Principles of Community Services
In order to fulfil the Primary Principles in delivering the appropriate service to our client-group we are able to utilise
different expertise within the integrated teams.
This includes ….
• Psychological Therapies
• Employment Services
• Social Integration Services
• Self Directed Support
• Occupational Therapies
• 24 Hour Support
• Care Coordination (Skills Matching)
• Medical Interventions(Inc. Community Pharmacies, Nurse prescribers etc)
• Approved Mental Health Professionals
• Specialist tertiary Services(Inc. Eating Disorders, Mother & Baby service etc).
The client-group within secondary mental health services are here due to the complexity of their needs and, in some cases, lifestyle.
This degree of complexity and needs of the client-group brings with it the need for sensitive and appropriate risk management.
Conclusion
Care coordination demands that the assigned care coordinator identifies needs in conjunction with the client
The Care Coordinator matches appropriate skills from within the integrated service and with external agencies to assist the service user towards their
personal recovery goal.
