Recovery Education is guided by good practice and consistent and rigorous co-production is a positive approach for recovery and mental health promotion in the community.

Recovery Education:

• Empowers people to have control over their own personal recovery. It challenges the idea of compliance and the dependent patient role.
• Reinforces social inclusion for all or ‘challenges the concept of congregated settings’
• It promotes an environment that encourages understanding, knowledge and skill development and challenges the stigma around mental health.
• Supports identifying individual learning goals that can have practical application in life. Recovery culture describes a move from paternalistic care-giving to Person Centred mental health care.
• Provides an adult learning opportunity rather than a ‘day care’ type service.
