Recovery Meanings and Measures Report Released

The Mental Health Commission released the Recovery Meanings and Measures report on November 2nd 2011.  This report is a literature scan to clarify the concept of recovery and describe different recovery measures, as part of initial work to develop a “DHB Recovery Report Card”.

It is a resource for those working in mental health and addiction to help them understand the concept of recovery and how to evaluate the extent to which the services they provide are focused on recovery.
