Mental Health Recovery (mental + health_recovery)
Selected AbstractsFamily Network Support and Mental Health RecoveryJOURNAL OF MARITAL AND FAMILY THERAPY, Issue 1 2010Francesca Pernice-Duca Family members often provide critical support to persons living with a serious mental illness. The focus of this study was to determine which dimensions of the family support network were most important to the recovery process from the perspective of the recovering person. Consumers of a community mental health program completed in-depth structured interviews that included separate measures of social network support and recovery. Consumers named an average of 2.6 family members on the social network, interacted with family on a weekly basis, and were quite satisfied with their contact. This study revealed that support and reciprocity with family members are important dimensions of a personal support network that relates to the recovery process.

BROOKES rn msc(a) phdcpmhn(c) The Tidal Model of Mental Health Recovery has contributed to the transformation of nursing practice at the Royal Ottawa Hospital (ROH), a psychiatric and mental health facility in Ontario, Canada. Ten commitments affirm the core values of the Tidal Model. These commitments guide person-centred, collaborative, strength-based practice and they facilitate Tidal teaching. In this paper we illustrate fidelity to the values, principles and processes of the model and the commitments while implementing the model. We share how some of the commitments are realized in our Tidal teaching and provide examples of successes and challenges. [source] The Tidal Model: Psychiatric colonization, recovery and the paradigm shift in mental health careINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, Issue 2 2003Phil Barker ABSTRACT: Psychiatric research and practice involves the colonization of the personal experience of problems of human living. From a Western perspective, this process shares many similarities with the subjugation of women, people of colour and people embracing non-Christian faiths and cultures. The Tidal Model® is a mental health recovery and reclamation model, developed to provide the framework for discrete alternatives to the colonizing approach of mainstream psychiatric practice. The Model asserts the intrinsic value of personal experience and the centrality of narrative in the development of contextually bound, personally appropriate, mental health care. This paper summarizes the features of the Model, which attempt to address the foci of the more significant critiques of psychiatric practice (and psychiatric nursing), against a background sketch of psychiatric colonization. [source] The Tidal Commitments: extending the value base of mental health recoveryJOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRIC & MENTAL HEALTH NURSING, Issue 2 2008P. BUCHANAN-BARKER The emerging concept of recovery in mental health is often only loosely defined, but appears to be influenced more by specific human values and beliefs, than scientific research and ,evidence'. As a contribution to the further development of the philosophical basis of the concept of recovery, this paper reviews the discrete assumptions of the Tidal Model, describes the development of the Model's value base , the 10 Commitments , and illustrates the 20 Tidal Competencies, which aim to generate practice-based evidence for the process of recovery.
