Recovery Coaching: Focused on resilience and wellness, Recovery Coaching prioritizes adults who receive mental health services from multiple providers and may be at risk for hospitalization, potential homelessness or involved in the criminal justice system. Recovery coaches provide guidance by acting as a liaison between the individual and community based support. The nature of the program is holistic and needs based, with most services delivered in the community. This process of relationship building, skill enhancement, changed patterns and healing leads to the goal of recovery--and will be different for each individual we serve.

Recovery Principles
- Hope is the belief in an individual’s potential to experience a full and satisfying life and that change is possible. Hope is the foundation for recovery.
- Individuality is key, as recovery is a unique and personal journey. Embracing the individual, rather than dwelling on the illness, recovery respects a person’s cultural and spiritual differences along with their special needs.
- Choice is encouraged as individuals make informed decisions about their lives and support systems, and these choices are respected.
- Peer Support is a highly valued resource, offering hope through the unique empathy and understanding that is derived from peer relationships.
- Community Integration is vital to connecting with and flourishing in the community of one’s choosing. An environment supportive of recovery provides access to community supports and resources that will best promote one’s own recovery, while living in and contributing to that community.
- Personal Responsibility is foundational in life decisions and membership in the community at large. Steps to recovery are chosen and mastered by the individual, while contributing partners form a vital support network.
- A Meaningful Life is one of purpose and direction, both chosen and carried out by every individual according to their talents, interests and passions. Pursuing relationships, vocations and activities adds richness and meaning to a person’s life, as well as to the life of the community.
- Advocacy allows individuals to have a voice in their own recovery. All are offered opportunities and support to be his or her own advocate.
- Access to Resources is necessary in moving toward wellness and recovery. A variety of community resources, including: behavioral health services, self-help, education, advocacy groups and peer support can serve to promote holistic wellbeing in all individuals.
