Glossary

A perspective that recognizes recovery as a personal process that people with mental health conditions or addictions experience to gain control, meaning and purpose in their lives. Recovery involves different things for different people and is not the same as being cured. For some, recovery means the complete absence of the symptoms of mental health conditions or addiction. For many affected people, recovery constitutes living a satisfying, hopeful, and productive life with continued limitations caused by mental health conditions or addiction.
