Recovery Approaches

TeamHEALTH operates within a strength based, psychosocial rehabilitation framework, with a focus on supports that are recovery focused, strengths based and that are culturally appropriate.

What does this mean?

We support you to achieve SMART goals in areas of your life that meet your needs.

How do we do this?

To provide a basis that supports individual recovery planning TeamHEALTH uses the Outcomes Star (the Star) as one of its main tools to develop an Individual Recovery Plan.

The Star is an evidence based tool that supports to prompt discussion to identify your strengths, what areas would make most difference to you, develop SMART goals that identify how you can achieve these. It allows you and your Mental Health Recovery Worker to measure distance travelled towards the goals you have set, rather than just whether or not the goal has been achieved.

Discussions occur around the 10 domains of the Star, these include:

MANAGING MENTAL HEALTH

PHYSICAL HEALTH AND SELF-CARE

LIVING SKILLS

SOCIAL NETWORKS

WORK

RELATIONSHIPS

ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR

RESPONSIBILITIES

IDENTITY AND SELF ESTEEM

TRUST AND HOPE

SMART GOALS THAT ARE DEVELOPED ARE:

Specific – How, with who, when and where

Measurable – evidence of goals being achieved

Achievable – resources, skills, time

Realistic – resources, sustainable, barriers

Time-bound – due or end date, review dates
