Recovery Movement
The Recovery Movement is a social and cultural shift that emphasizes the importance of personal recovery from mental health and substance use disorders. It promotes the idea that individuals can lead fulfilling lives despite their challenges, focusing on strengths and resilience rather than just symptoms or diagnoses. This movement encourages support systems, community involvement, and access to resources that aid in recovery.
Central to the Recovery Movement is the concept of peer support, where individuals with lived experience help others on their recovery journeys. This approach fosters hope and empowerment, allowing people to share their stories and strategies for overcoming obstacles. The movement also advocates for a holistic view of health, integrating physical, emotional, and social well-being.
