Within the realm of mental health, recovery is seen as an individual living positively with or without the effects of their mental illness. This is an underlying concept of the recovery approach, which is endorsed for use in New Zealand. As a third year occupational therapy student, with a passion about mental health, the process of recovery interests me immensely. Within this blog I plan to discuss the use of the recovery approach within an acute mental health ward from an occupational therapists perspective.
