Partnering for Recovery in Mental Health

The 1st Edition of Partnering for Recovery in Mental Health: A Practical Guide to Person-Centered Planning provides guidance on collaborative recovery planning for individuals with serious mental illnesses and their families.

Emerging from the mental health recovery movement, the volume translates recovery concepts into structured clinical practice. Key subjects include strength-based assessment, building an integrated understanding, setting priorities, and developing care plans during team meetings.

The approach was tested with roughly 3,000 providers and post-graduate trainees in psychology, social work, nursing, and psychiatric rehabilitation. It serves as a practical guide for professionals, evaluators, and participants engaged in community-based mental health care.
