Using a person-centred approach and RECOVERY ACTION PLAN assists in providing evidence which in turn helps service users become optimistic about what they can achieve, motivates staff and provides proof that our services work to commissioners and government. The Recovery Action Plan makes it possible to capture this evidence while enabling users and workers to discuss the important issues and to assess where they are now and where they are going.

As such, we continuously strive to achieve a positive long-term outcome for our service users. We accomplish this through working with other professionals, specialist services and where appropriate with service user families.
